Hope your bruised prediction is relayed later today by the doc after X ray eval from yesterday's Imagery visit, Jeff! If so, I'll be asking for your office hours! Even publicly on this website to help your practice...maybe even a username change Dr. Speck or futuristically- Dr. Spock! Don't know what tools you're referring too, but the only tool I've used(lately 0) is a pain med or 2- I'm hopefully theorizing that the damage was confined only to the 2 lower "free floating" ribs, yielding a less likely fracture event with pain/bruising caused by cartilage/connective tissue impact tear.(WAY less recovery time)
Actually, my football days had me tagged w/nickname = Bruiser. Hopefully, applies later life in my self-diagnosis theory.
