Well certainly no casts over 20 yards.
I ran into a wall this morning playing 5 a side football and broke 2 ribs

Stll the codine tablets are great fun

Silly muppet what did you do that for? lol
Mmmh I remember those tablets.....felt like I had a real bad hangover after I stopped taking them though

...and that had nothing to do with the 5pints of lager I had to wash the tablets down with

You mad thing but at least you can finally sort out your tackle box and get some nice prity rigs made whilst you mend - Oh beer helps the ribs you know

Youve got a point Rich my tackle does need a good sort but i can think of better ways to do it

so is that six weeks off work too, because diving with bust ribs is a no no

I am off work sick at the moment too, and not fit enough to go fishing, it is a real drag!

Get well soon

Cant see it being as long as 6 weeks (hopefully)
You cant do anything for ribs just take pain killers and then supose whet the pain goes back to diving

Hope you get well soon and back to fishing as it is a right pain as you say.

Check with the doc, but as far as I know if the bones have not knitted fully then there is a risk when diving that the ribs could damage the lung. Six weeks is normal for full knitting of the bone.

And as a diver you do not want to risk a damaged or at worst a punctured lung.

Take it easy and get yourself signed fit before you hit the water again, please.
