Yeah, these were pretty much the responses I was expecting to get, and actually hoping to get. After it happened, it took me a few minutes, but was able to make it back on the field...I guess I'm going to continue trying to play through the pain.

Bad idea?

Don't play through the pain.

You could puncture a lung.

Go to a doctor if your employer needs proof.

I cracked a rib playing softball a few years ago. Three days later I played in a tournament. I loaded up on Aleve, but it still hurt like heck when I swung the bat. When adrenaline kicks in your body can do amazing things.

I seem to crack my ribs every 3 years or so. Last time it happened I went to the navy doc who told me it's probably not cracked. Many times it's just the cartilage your ribs are attached to become inflamed from the impact. Take some naproxen and vicitan and walk it off.
