A member asked:
What to do if i have fractured ribs and bowel movements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time: Unfortunately the pain from rib fractures can be severe and make it difficult to do normal daily activities. Stay on top of your pain medications (i.e. take them regularly instead of waiting for the pain to be severe), and rest assured that the pain should gradually improve with time.
