I had met with an accident on 27.11.2006 and all my ribs on right side of chest formed multiple fractures. No displacement occured. I was hospitalised for 1 week and advised bed rest for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks,I started attending office by travelling in City Buses. My internal pains are still there. I am afraid whether I am doing right or wrong?. My journey is causing daily jerks in chest. Can I continue attending office or is it dangerous ? If you advise me I will stop attending office also. Healing should not be disturbed. Please explain me hoe the healing get disturbed in such cases and what is the impact?

Ouch!
I pity you. I broke a rib and it was the most painful thing of my life. Like a leg cramp that lasted 2 weeks. Off work for 6 weeks and 15 years later I still cant sleep om my side.
Good Luck and get well soon

Did another doctor refer you to the thoracic surgeon or did you make the appointment on your own? If another doctor referred you, then he or she must believe there may be something the surgeon can do. Did you have xrays? CT scan with contrast? You'll need at least those tests to determine if or what is wrong. Have you been to physical therapy? These are all things a surgeon will want done first. Good luck.
