I broke 3 ribs when I was younger.It took about 6 weeks of prescription pain pills(decreasing the dose as soon as possible);but I still never missed more than the first 2 weeks of work.
I dont know? How did you break your hip? you don't need any pills, you just need to increase your pain threshold. Otherwise, you'll be a wimp forever.
Everybody is different. But 3 to 10 days is average.
Try a stronger pain releaver and a neuropathy( Neurontin) medication since small nerves by the ribs may be affected also.
