I was looking for some information on fractured ribs for a story I'm writing and evil_little_dog pointed me in your direction and said I should poke you.
I've found lots of information on how to care for the ribs or what to watch out for, but I'm wondering about more of the personal side of things. Like how much pain the person would be in, how long the pain would last, would they have restricted movement in the associated arm and if so how much, what type of pain it would be (gnawing, sharp, grating), at the time of injury would they have felt any tell tale signs like shifting, how would their movements or mannerisms change, that type of thing. I've never fractured anything so I really have no idea.
Any information you could pass along or if you could point me in the direction of a website that has that type of info would be greatly appreciated.
