rib damage

hi my husband, had a fall and bruised his ribs, we went to hospital, and they said even if he had broken them there is nothing you can do, we have been back and asked for x ray, but they refused they have given him co- codamol and told him to take paras also, with ibrofen in between, he his in agony.. and tablets just not helping.. any suggestions?

I have had this happen to me I go sailing and have been thrown several times in Storms, Ribs seem to always be what I damaged, they hurt a lot but theres nothing you can do, I have found some relief in getting those back braces and wearing it as a support, as it hurts when you sneeze , Breathe or Bend,the Docs   cant do anything , they take time to heal, as he had Xrays they know it hasnt gone into a Lung,its just time and Painkillers I'm afraid.
