Hello,
Having rib injury means Fracture rib? How many days now? Simple fracture or any bone chips there?
Better restrict movements in the fracture rib area by applying plaster. If it is multiple fracture consult ortho and thoracic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
