Thanks for the responses guys, I was hoping it was just bruising or something simple, doesn't hurt bad enough for me to want to see a doc mainly thinking you guys could direct me as to how long to rest it before exercising again.
No skin discoloration or misplaced ribs (everything looks symmetrical)
Didn't see a doc right away as it didn't immobilize me, pain is getting better mainly looking for advise on how long to rest it before exercising again. Pain is lighter and lighter every day, no trouble breathing and only bothersome in morning and while lying on that side. Spent all day yesterday tearing apart my bathroom and painting it without much trouble so I didn't think the injury was that serious.
Yes that night was very interesting, started with a phone call from a buddy while I was having a last bit of time with my friend before he heads to boot ,he was visiting a church in a neighborhood heavy with gang activity when the studs on his left (driver side) wheel apparently snapped off while taking a right turn at about 25mph, the wheel traveled approximately 20ft into a snow bank. The car took a chunk out of the road and left a nice groove for ~ 10 yards before he stopped. He couldn't afford a tow truck and there wasn't much damage except for 5 broken studs (even the rotor was intact). I jacked up the car and moved it out of the road to a safer area, hammered out the remaining stud pieces ran down the road to the parts store for a breaker bar and axle nut socket (no place to slide the new studs in behind the hub) loosened the nut used a pry bar to carefully get enough room to slide in new studs, tightened studs to secure and reset hub. After we got back to the party my buddy suggested tacos (the one heading to boot) so we shoot on down to the local TacoBell and run out of gas (his van...yah boot camp will be good for him). I push he steers about a mile to the local station, partially up hill, not the best part of town either so I'm not surprised no one stopped to help push (it's good exercise anyway
). Overall it was a great night and we had a lot of fun before he left, gave him something memorable to look back on while at boot.
