Can my girlfriend fly with cracked ribs?!


Question:

Can my girlfriend fly with cracked ribs?

She lives in England, but is moving over here to Indiana, but cracked her ribs in a car accident a few weeks ago. She's healing up well, but I was concerned with the pressure changes on the airplane affecting her breathing or making her injuries worse. Anyone know or had any experience with this? Thanks in advance for the answers

Yeah, there is the doctor thing, but she's saving money for the trip, and she doesn't want to spend money on the doc just so he can go, "Yeah, it's okay"


Answers:

With a crack rib, I think she should see a doctor. I understand she is saving money, but her health is more important.
Good luck.
