Suggest Treatment For Severely Painful Broken Rib

Brief Answer:
Take pain killers and rest
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If X-Ray and CT scan is normal then nothing serious.
Pain may be arising from soft tissue muscle injury.
You can take pain killers with muscle relaxant. Pain modulator drugs like Amitryptiline or Pregabalin or Gabapentin can also be tried (since these are prescription drugs so you need to check in to your local physician to get them).
If CT was of chest and no abdominal scanning then get an ultrasound of abdomen done.Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
