Is it ok to fly with dislocated ribs or will the pressure make it hurt worse?

I would check with your doctor before flying!

the harder you hit the water at an odd angle the more youll hurt yourself such as broken ribs and internal bleeding, try to stay completely vertical when your diving to maintain a good position

When you close your glottis and bear down, you increase the pressure inside of your skull, chest, and abdomen.  It's definitely a good idea to make sure you don't bear down for too long at a time.  You could get dizzy and/or pass out, which could be especially dangerous if you're lifting weights.  By the way, the bearing down is called the "Valsalva maneuver."

Unless you're using too much weight for your body, you are not going to injure your shoulders by bringing the bar all the way down to your chest. By only bringing the bar down to about 90 degrees is a partial rep which deprives you of a full stretch and is  about half as beneficial as a full rep (all the way down to your chest). \n\nThe answer above mine talks about lowering the bar to about an inch above your chest (he actually said belly button. I assume he means chest). That technique is good to avoid "bouncing" the bar off your chest for momentum on the upward pressing motion.\nAlso, using that technique gives you a full stretch and is very beneficial.\n\nIf you can train yourself not to bounce then, I've found, touching the bar to your chest is the most benefical.\n\nAs long as you are using good form and aren't "ego lifting" (lifting more weight that you can handle to appease your ego) you minimize the risk of injury, but by only lowering the bar to 90 degrees you're cheating yourself of the full benefit of the movement.

I don't know how people can answer this with no experience.  I'm starting to think Yahoo! Answers is for people WHO think they know it all.  I trained to become a professional wrestler during college.  I've been to wrestling school and went to wrestling camp in Texas.   Let me tell you, if you are worried about pain....don't go.  First, if you are in a real program...bring plenty of extra stregnth tylenol or anacin.  Hitting the ropes alone is a shock for the first time.  You picture them to be like rubber bands, but they feel like cables.  The basic landing on your back will be a shock for the first time too.  Landing the wrong way....oh you'll feel it instantly.  The first two weeks is make or break week.  If they didn't take your money yet, they will try to keep you until they get it...then the real test comes.  After that, if you were truly meant to be in the ring, you will survive.  One time, I landed so hard on the mat, I pulled my chest sternum.  I couldn't walk up stairs it hurt so much.  Another time, as a result of the mistakes from the other guy, I received a black eye and broken rib in the same class.  Just remember this answer if you forget the extra stregnth tylenol while you are driving home from your first class.  Good luck brother!

Yes,  My husband.  A good elbow to the rib cage usually causes him to roll over and gives me some temporary relief.

I doubt it.  Why would you go through the sternum when you could go between the ribs?\n\nIt's been a while since I saw Pulp Fiction, but didn't the needle stick in the sternum, and not go through?

youre lucky you put it back in place, thats definately gonna make it sore so you gotta relax and try not to put too much pressure on it. if you had dislocated it that would have been 4-6 weeks wrapped up.

That must feel awful, all the time. My heart goes out to you. There are two ways, which occur to me, and I'm 63 years old. The first is pills. You can probably find some pills from your doctor, and if you take enough of them, they might "take the top off" the pain (ease it somewhat), but you are asking for a cure. And cure is a different animal. When a person has "pins and needles," something is being impinged upon inside your body. Something is tangled up that needs straightening out again. All I can do is strongly suggest you see a chiropractor. Why? I dislocated my back over twenty years ago. I actually dislocated L-4 and L-5 (two lumbar vertebrae, lower back). In the very first visit, my chiropractor managed to clear that injury OUT. It has never since come back, over twenty years later, so you can see why I would be inclined to advocate for chiropractic. I fully realize it is not for everyone, and the good news is, one visit and you will probably get a gut feeling about whether or not it is for you. But the alternative, in my opinion, is twofold: pills or surgery. What does your doctor tell you about all this? I am just a layman. Well, I really hope this helps you come to decide some course of action to repair your body. It must be awful to have that nagging at you all the time. I wish you complete success with this issue, no matter what course you choose, and I will be holding strong and positive thoughts on your behalf, knowing something much better will be on the horizon for you and this issue before the leaves begin to drop off the trees in October. Sent to you with love from G. in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

If there's any question about how badly hurt the\nemployee is, then call for medical advice.  It's\nthe right thing to do from both a moral perspective\n(ie. you don't want to permanently damage someone\nby moving them if they have a spinal injury) as\nwell as from a legal perspective (ie. you don't\nwant to end up with a lawsuit).  \n\nIt's my opinion that if someone doesn't immediately\njust "get back up" on their own, then they *ought*\nto be checked out by a doctor (because the injury\nis obviously more serious than just a normal trip-and-fall).

Lower than recommended nutrition could be part of the problem.  I would also say that it could be the intercostal muscles (the muscles between your ribs) that you could have strained from overworking in combination with your body working hard to compensate for lack of adequate nutrients.  STOP exercising or tone it way down until the pain goes away, if you exercise it will only get worse.  Try foods high in protein, that will assist in muscle building. Also try transition hot-cold packs to ease the pain.  I hope this helps! \nOh, if the pain lasts for longer than two weeks, hurts really bad and/or if it hurts to breathe, like if the pain is in your lungs, I would see a doctor.

You have tired out and possibly sprained your diaphragm, the muscle below your rib cage which expands and contracts your lungs.  This is similar to the shortness of breath people have when the "wind is knocked out of them."\n\nI don't think you can get rid of the groggy feeling you get when you dive a lot.

they might be fractured, I did that once, there is not much they can do for it, just give you some thing for pain, they will give you a wrap to put around your ribs, when that happened to me, it made it feel better to have the wrap on, maybe wrap it your self, or go to the doc, maybe have it looked at, they can give you a better wrap, and some thing for pain, and have it x-rayed, it might be fractured and poking a lung or some thing

My chiropractor said as long as you don't force it you're fine. Have you ever gone to one? They could tell you even better if it isn't causing damage. Plus it's better to get your back/neck realigned regularly.

on the sternum, two fingers above the xiphoid process.Please do not place your hands on the ribs of the rib cage, during CPR ribs break and to place them directly over ribs will force the rib into the organs that they cover! place your hands only on the sternum (the bone that connects the ribs in front).
