I have a broken rib and my doctor gave me pain meds. It's kind of a long story, but my abusive mom took my pain meds away. Is there anything I can do for pain while at school? My school nurse doesn't give over the counter pain meds because of cost.

Most likely no one is giving you pain meds because you must be addicted to them. If you want to relieve pain HOT FOMENTATION, REST and SUPPORT BANDAGE will help.

Hello mam rib fracture are painful. If you don't have painkillers it's difficult to bear there pain. I would suggest you to do deep breathing exercises. These would cause little pain initially later would ease the pain out and plus you can apply a belt on your chest it will also relieve the pain.
