Hello,
The pain is not going to last long which is a good thing.
Taking many of the drugs the doctor gives for pain in three weeks you could have a serious drug addiction, so why bother? The one you did try make you sick....
Soak in the bathtub, of course this takes time to get off the bandages. Use a heating pad. Lay down and take it easy. Which is also hard sometimes if you have small kids or a job etc..
Drink some mellow tea and take it easy. Easier said then done hu? But try.
There are many pain meds, I am not real thrilled with them but if you can not handle the pain try another pain killer. There is no reason to get into pain management because you will heal up in no time!
Wish you well and I wish there was some miracle pill out there. I really do! Find a way to get your mind of the pain.....
BTW
I am really sorry you fell and broke your ribs!! My last fall I only fractured my arm.
just relax and skip skool
You should rest and i dont really know what you should take...
you could maybe ask your doctor??
I don't know if you are already doing it but wrap a pillow around your ribs. and clutch it. It will help.
Good luck I hope you get better soon!
