Is A Rib Connecting To Another Bone While Healing Dangerous?

About 8 months ago, I fell and 4 ribs on the right side. One rib preforated my lung and I had surgery to correct that situation. I was hospitalized for a while and after I was released, I was advised that my ribs would heal by themselves. Unfortunately, one of the ribs became connected to another bone (I am not sure which one)and my doctor advised it was dangerous to do surgery as there was a danger of penetrating my lung again. Wearing a bra has become an issue as the pressure on my side rib becomes very painful. If you are aware of any facility that makes bras for women who have this issue, I would greatly appreciate your referral. I realize this is not a direct medical issue, but this pain is devastating. Sincerely, Reva Shader

I really appreciate your concern, if wearing the bra causes some pain then it can be adjusted or avoided although bra may not cause any pain what ever the cases I have gone through that does not shown such history even if you avoid wearing the bra then it is okay hope this information helps.
