I dislocated my rib and i play basketball, what could i do to get them to not hurt during games?

Not playing would be: the best advice as otherwise you are reinjuring it again & again. If you do have to play, then do check with your local Orthopod and Some Taping could be done to the affected area to give you some relief, which unfortunately will last only till some one bumps into that area or you hit it with your own hand or elbow.
