*poke* *poke* "My ribs hurt right here. And they are swollen. Really hurt."
"Is it on the ends between your ribs?"
"Yes."
"You separated the tissue between your ribs. It's a common yoga injury. It'll take awhile to heal."
"Good times that yoga."

I only went once!

Brian has found himself single again so I invited him over last night for drinking and stories. He brought his own beer. We distracted each other for awhile with tales of all the trouble our friends have gotten themselves into lately.

O.O

Um, I'm thinking probably not so much. That would be a muscle tear. I'm thinking an intercostal muscle strain (or overstretch) would be much more likely.

Hurts no matter what you call it.

I was thinking the hyaline cartilage that connects the uppermost false rib to the lowermost true rib. I tore something in there once in a bike wreck and that was my doctor's explanation.
