He Rode last week with 2 dislocated ribs as well as his injury from Dallas. About as tough as you can get. Respect
When you’re at the Chiro and they bring out the activator and start using it on your torso, they are actually putting ribs back in place. I go once a week. The more active you are the more common it is and it’s not painful in the least. Ralph and Ricky are just trying to make our sport and Cooper seem like Gods. I’m sure Cooper had some discomfort in Atlanta from the bone bruise, but the ONLY thing dislocated ribs are going to affect is your breathing. As in not letting you breathe in as deep you do when your ribs are where they are supposed to be.

Wife finally made me go to the doctor and he said I had a dislocated “floating” back rib. Popped it in but said that because I’d waited so long it’d pop out again really easily. Had to go to physical therapy to build up the muscle to hold it back in.
Definitely hurt, but I was able to work 6 months with it. Not as physical as a racer type of work, though.....
Now I have to put a tennis ball on the ground and down with it just below my shoulder blade every other night to maintain it, but it’s been awesome not to have to have those shooting pains.
Dislocated ribs are far cry from broken ribs, yes they’re painful but you can still breathe fine.
I’d say that you have never actually had truly dislocated ribs, then. Mine could not have been put back in with an actuator.
