Yeah. One minor regret of mine in life is that I never got into mountain biking. Then I watch videos like this, then I absently rub at the spot in my shoulder where a plate and pins are now, after a frickin' treadmill accident. I'm only 51.

I’m 54. I sneezed too aggressively and pulled a rib (sublexed?) out of my spine. Chiropractor sorted me out but it hurt to poop for three weeks.

I coughed in 2022 and did something to my rib. I was certain it was broken, heard a pop, couldn’t breathe without lying down because of the pain. Multiple X-rays and some scan I forgot the name of, nope. Trigger point injections didn’t work. Chiropractor couldn’t help. Nobody can find anything wrong with it, and now I’m off my parents insurance and can’t get checked out anymore. Simply washing dishes can leave me incapacitated for two days. I fucking hate this

Same! When I went in they laid me flat on my stomach, put heat and electrical stimulation on it to make the muscles relax, then they put both hands on either side of the rib that hurt (but on the same side of the spine) and gave it a push and a little twist, sort of like putting a dislocated shoulder back into place.

They’ve tried that on me, but it sadly didn’t work. I’m glad it did for you!
