How much rest is required for multiple fractures on ribs?

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?

ribs fractur is a break period there is nothing to do but wait u did good sitting still for six weeks now u have to start moving they will heal u cannot wrap ribs or anything when my were broken i still kept going they still healed but u in the beginning could puncture ur lungs or ..........that is the worst i ever heard of they dont heal in six weeks sure they feel better after u start moving again the pain is coming from muscles bruised and u sitting waiting for ribs to heal what do u mean healing cant be disturbed get in the real world go to work ride a bus take the bumps if ur a man u surely are a cry baby

may take up to 8 weeks to heal
Try to inhale and exhale effectively to avoid getting
pneumonia

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

OK, well 6 weeks in your bed not leaving it less you need to eat or go to the restroom. Need to take your movement to a minimal. need calcium in your diet and vitamins.
