    Pain medication with codeine every 6 hours. While strapping to keep it immobile relieves the pain, it is not recommended because of the possibility of developing pneumonia, so don't strap it.

    Ouch! I am so sorry that you've got needed to undergo all of this. I have no idea if that is proper for you or now not. All I recognise is that it helped my woman buddy's daughter while she fell down a flight of stairs and broke her ribs. Jessica used Arnic and Bellis Homeopathically, moreover to Young Living Essential Oils Peppermint, Frankincense and Balsam Fur.

    Pain killers. Remember to breathe as normal even if it hurts as this will help prevent pneumonia
