I fell and fractured my rib during the cold spell 3 weeks before christmas.Had to go to A&E as pain was unbearable especially if I breathed in heavily or coughed.I was told no exercise of any description or lifting and was given Ibuprofen 400mg to take 3 times a day along with 2 Paracetamols.Still feel sore today but i guess it takes weeks to heel completely.

If you are still in pain then I would say carry on with the no exercise/heavy lifting thing. You could walk, stretch gently and so on but take it easy till there is no pain then get back to full activity gently.
