Footpath 1, Gronk 0
Behold, the Running Gods have spoken ! I get over one injury and then pick up another. Doh !
It seems that my 20km run on Saturday has further traumatised my rib injury to almost up under my armpit.
So I am benched until the swelling goes down and the pain goes away. At the moment it hurts to walk, twist, cough and lay on my side. Last night I had 3 sneezes and almost passed out ! (ok, not really that bad).
Voltaren Gel seems to work pretty good, so I'm really hoping its muscular rather than cartilage, or worse fractured. If its muscular then I'll be back by the weekend. Cartilage is 4 weeks. Fracture is 12 weeks from what I can see.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Bugger :-( Hope its just muscular. Seen the doc yet?
Another tough break mate...you're setting yourself up for a huge comeback at this rate! Hope you're right by the end of the week...at least the legs will be fresh.
Hope it is only a bad bruise and not a break. Wouldn't want you missing Canberra over it.
As PR suggested, just keep those legs fresh and do what you can to keep your fitness up mate. Swimming or water running once the pain has eased?
Hi Gronk,
I fractured a rib once playing rugby, I could hardly lift my arm, and I had a huge black bruise where it was fractured.
Just hoping it's not the same for you
Ouchie! You and I seem to alternate.. when I'm back running, you're off the road and vice versa. Hope you back soon and it's nothing serious.
Aww geez mate that sucks - xrays?
