How soon can I do physical work with six broken ribs

In case of six fractures of the ribs, light work can be done after six weeks of the fracture, and physical work can be done properly about three months after the fracture, but it must not be excessive, otherwise it will cause more serious damage to the fracture site. In many cases, rib fractures can lead to breathing difficulties, and for rib fractures it is necessary to take analgesic measures, clean the airway of foreign bodies, fix the fracture and the thorax, and prevent other complications. Therefore, this type of treatment is slow and it is not recommended that the patient engage in premature physical work. This is because physical work can easily cause secondary damage to the fracture and make it more difficult to heal. During the fracture recovery period, patients should rest in bed, do not get out of bed and do not exercise strenuously, and eat foods high in protein and calcium to promote rapid healing of the fracture.
