Is It Safe To Travel With Broken Ribs Treatment?
Hi, I fell out of bed 3 weeks ago and broke 5 ribs and my shoulder. I am not in near the pain I was, but still my back is painful and it hurts to sneeze or burp. I am also still sleeping in a recliner as it hurts to lie down flat. Can a person get on a flight with these problems. My Reg. Dr. said recovery is 4 months to a year. I am 71 years old. We had already made some vacation plans, but I am getting concerned. My Dr. did not get back with me today. Diane

Hi, you wil need to release the Back Musculature, since it would have been under spasm due to inactivity, initiate with fascial release of muscle for initial session and later with deep tissure release of deep muscle in thoracic region
