How to nurse broken ribs?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) March 6th, 2010

I’ve slipped on the ice and broken two ribs on the right side and maybe one on the right back…I am on anti-inflammatorys and I still have problems sleeping at nights…my back gets swollen and I need to turn over but it hurts…Is this normal…my doctor says he can’t do anything except give me pain killers and suggest wraps. Any advice on broken ribs would be lurved.
