not much can be done im afraid. you should be fine backpacking. unless your rib punctured your lung...

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

i hear this works.

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

strap it and drink some Jolt

they call it liquid Advil at my local mountain

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
