Broken Rib

Hello Tony and Luella.

I had a bad fall yesterday and it turns out I broke rib. Of course, I had to go to the emergency room and get an x-ray, which I hated doing. Anyhow, they don't wrap broken ribs anymore because you need to be able to take deep breaths. The doc gave me a prescription for pain medication, but I'm somewhat afraid to take any type of prescription, let alone a strong pain med. Do either of you have any tips, advice, supplements to take in order to speed healing or help with the pain? Any help would be very much appreciated. And, yes indeedy, this thing is mighty painful!!
