A new one this time, under my ribs fairly low

  down on the side and going around the back.

 Had lots of small strains around this area before

but not as bad as this one. Managed to work through it

for two days with the help of Ibruprofen, but taking a 

deep breath is painful when I stand up after sitting.

 Not sure how long this will last or what is the best thing

to do to help it. ?

 Not going to the Dr, as I know it will be a complete waste

of time, and that I will probably catch something nasty there,

like a virus that makes me sick.... just what I need.

  The injury happened while cutting a wide hedge with the

extension rod fitted to the Stihl combi, while standing on the

Henchman platform.
