to be fair, a broken shoulder sounds much worse. Though, for the weekend I'd thought it was my shoulder blade that was somehow damaged as the rib that popped was one of the upper ones, so everytime I moved my left arm it would cause the shoulder blade to rub against and move the popped rib. In the grand scheme of things, I'd say I was pretty lucky. All it took was a 15 minute visit to pop it back into place...still hurts due to all of the friction/inflammation built up over the weekend...but should be back to bearable within a day or three.
