Cracked or broken bones are usually isolated in order to repair, however this becomes a problem with the ribs as we all need to breath which obviously expands the ribcage. Rib injuries take a long time to recover due to poor circulation around that area – gentle stretching and moderate aerobic activity is advised during the recovery period. <BR/><BR/>As you are a year on from your injury I would suggest that the pain is probably being brought on by the cold coupled with increased impact activity to the body, ie; running on the road.<BR/><BR/>I broke my wrist playing football when I was 14 and I still get pain at the site of the break now in very cold weather (20 years later).<BR/><BR/>Disclaimer: If the problem persists I would suggest you seek professional medical advice.Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07674147723268846122noreply@blogger.com
