Mid cycle injury. Torn rib muscle. Anyone else had one?

[gtower]

Mid cycle, doing a leg press, felt this big POP in my right side. Torn intercostal muscle in my lower rib.
I am wondering if anyone else has had this injury, and if they could still work out with it?
How long to heal?

I really dont want to stop because I am on cycle now.

From what I have read, this is almost always caused in Leg press type work.

Load up on ibuprofen and quit bitching and go?

Experiences with this?

its never gonna get better if you dont let it rest.

Right. I plan on going easy but really dont want to stop.
Maybe will use a rib wrap and just do upper body for a few weeks.

rib wraps just keep your diaphram from expanding and make it hard to breathe. rest it bro. thats how it will heal
