Sounds horrific that...get well soon. Friend of mine once claimed in their home insurance for a bicycle accident. Might be worth checking.

Sounds stupid maybe, but my mum swore by laughing for pain distraction/ relief. Her thing was Laurel and Hardy on Youtube.
Â
Heat pads may also help as heat detecting nerves are faster than pain detectors and the brain will favour the heat signal.

Now that is a good point - rebreaking ribs with laughter is not progress.

Update;
been to the fracture clinic today and I'm able to use crutches now after 7 weeks in a bed.
Â
Just need to build up my legs again.
Â
even better I've managed to do a poo on a proper toilet :banana:
Â
back to work in 6 weeks and a further 6 week light duties. Hopefully strong enough to ride my bike soon.
