I'm going backpacking for three days but have a broken rib.

Anyone have any suggestions about what to do to keep the pain down?

thanks

remove it, and from this rib you shall create a partner. together you shall live a long life with many offspring.

keep your chest wrapped tight with a long ace bandage or the like. it'll help keep it in place. and I would load up on pain killers (advil, prozac, pot) because if your gonna use a backpack with a strap going across the chest, it could hurt tons... and dont trip and fall

take it out, slow cook it, slather it in bbq sauce, and then munch it.

get a costco pack of Ibuprofen, and start taking like 2 every 5 hours until the trip, and do that during the trip also.   this way you will have a continuos amnt. of painkilller in your system, which will help keep the pain down.  i did this with my broken leg and  braces, and i worked great
