I also vote for pulled muscle
I broke 3 ribs one time, Jesus that was the most godawful feeling ever, it would bring you to tears just trying to breathe.. Long story short, I got realllllly drunk and feel down a flight of stairs. Luckly I didnt puncture a lung though.

Perscription strenght Ibuprofin is 800mg. You can take four over the counter advil every 6 hours. Be sure to take with food. Use a heating pad or there are air activated wraps that supply 8 hours of heat. You can find them at drug store. Buy the one designed for backs. It will wrap around your ribs. Take care and stay out of trouble you train wreck.

30 foot diameter above ground :) i'm 2 hours away fromanything closely resembling a beach.
as for the filter, its a DE filter that the ring holding the two pieces together got stuck. i've been sucking down advil at the beach today (actually found a sand sifting crab that is in my QT right now
) and that has helped.
Im on the pulled /torn/ strained muscle band wagon too. Damn pool filters... Im glad I got mine straightened out earlier this season with no ill effects except a split hose on start up that drenched me...and.. 2 hours away from a beach !!

Oh that is unacceptable, if I cant get to the beach in 20 minutes I would go out of my mind... But at least you have a pool.

yea, i'm thinking just pulled muscle after today. that or the stuff between the ribs is bruised. pain though is enough that extra str. tylenol isn't helping.
I've broken ribs twice and can tell ya that definitely no help from Tylenol, plus you'd feel the break for nearly 3 months while it heals. Not fun stuff, hope it's just a muscle.
