We cannot prescribe medicine as we are physiotherapists. We can also suggest you home care advise like keeping ice in the injured area on the cracked rib and bone. You need to consult the physician for the medicines. For the toileting you can use commodes which will help you to have more comfort while sitting and going for toilet.

Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness might have developed due to weakness of the ligaments &inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee.

Rib pain might be due to gastric pain you can drink hot water which will help you to get rid out of the gas formed in the stomach. It might be due to any mild injury to the ribs too for which you need to keep ice packs probably twice a day with 8 hours gap which will help you to get relieved with pain.
