Big Ben has a rare rib injury

damn.. trying to fix the sizes

 

Srry to hear that:-(, wishing Ben all the best, Does anyone kno how long this thing takes to heal?

 

why have a young qb sit behind ben and have to pay him a second contract maybe?

wasen't this the thinking of so many? well this is why? #8 may be looking pretty good soon. LOL

so we will go with the geriatric duo.

 

ok.. i cant see them at all now

 

Man that sucks, Tomlins gotta get this team fired up for the run forward its gonna be tough but the Steelers can rise to the occasion now is when this team gets its identity for the rest of the season Offense has got to protect Leftwich point blank

 

Dixon got signed by the Ratbirds classless act by Coach Hairball

 

oh man... they are huge now...lol

 

there is talk of jarrod johnson being signed. that's the #8.

 

I dont know. I just need to learn how to work the new board. At least you can see them now....LOL

 

MY bad

 

no problem SW. i didn't know they resigned dixon. they are evil over there though.

 

This is discouraging for the rest of the regular season.....might be time to sideline him until 2013. No game is worth the risk of human life...

How long does it take for a rib dislocation to heal?
That is a hard question to answer because there are so many different levels person-to-person. Generally it takes about six weeks. Keep in mind that is just healing, that doesn't get the athlete ready to return to their sport.
Strengthening and conditioning are what is needed not only for recovery but for prevention.
There are potential complications that should be watched for. They are primarily shock and infection at the outset and as the patient goes along they must be watched for impaired blood flow.
The good news about a rib dislocation is that rarely is surgery required.
A rib dislocation is serious. A dislocated rib can also affect other parts of the body and there may always be more than one.
The best preparation is to understand what a rib dislocation is and get a victim immediate help.

 

I found a little more on this here: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/e...-greater-concern-than-shoulder-could-kill-him

Ben says the pain is a 9 on a 10 scale, and that it's bad enough that he's only been able to sleep 4 hours sitting in a chair each of the last 2 nights.

If the part about the injury killing him by pressing on his aorta is true, it's a good thing he got out of the stadium and to the hospital as fast as he did.

 

Waiting for the Drama Queen reply in 3....2......1........

Doesn't sound good.

 

I'd like to know how Bouchette is qualified to speak as a doctor?

 

Well then, we need to give Flacco a little Harrison therapy so that DD gets his shot

 

do you think Harrison remembers what a qb looks like?

 

how many games lefty and batch can survive without injurie ?

 

He's repeating information that he got from official sources. There are some interviews with Ben where Ben says the same things.

 

I think we could raise the money to cover his fine. With the season looking gloomier and gloomier, what better time for a suspension. And what better ratturd to do it to.....

 

Sit down before you read mac

I agree with you
