Broken rib

[stesta5074]

I broke my rib messing around with one of my rather strong friends. Rib X-ray was negative, but they only have a 50% sensitivity. When should I resume flying? Is it simply pain dependent? I'm taking no narcotics, just Ibuprofen 800 mg tid.

Should I also contact my flight doctor?

Thank you
