It was feeling ok and getting better (??) until last night. We spent most of yesterday in the car driving to through the north Georgia mountains looking at a possible summer home and riding areas. When we got home I could hardly move because of the discomfort. Its a little better this morning. I hope I'll be able to get some miles in today.
There is something called a Doctor, have it checked out. I fell in February on my right side after falling in December on my left side. Big pain on my right hip but no fractures, just heavy swelling and bruising. My hip is still somewhat sore today but no real pain, just aches. I am not a Doctor but rib injuries take awhile to get better and an X-ray will help to see the damage, if any, to your ribs. Just exhale, not inhale.
