support for ribs

(2 discussions)

I have broken most of the ribs on my left side. They have never healed for support and so if I do not use my hand to hold myself up, I find myself falling to the side and cannot sit up straight. If I go anywhere I have to have my husband to sit next to me to keep me from falling over. Is there a brack that can give me the support on that side to be able to sit straight?

    I was in a roll over accident on on dec 11th 2014 Iam 43 years old. The pain is so bad when I lay flat. How long will it take to feel better? I also have a little numbness that runs up the middle of my back. I didn’t notice it until I was scratching my back the other day. Is that normal?Thank you Corinne Khan
