The important thing is to get lots of rest, place cold compresses in the area and try not to make any sudden movements that will get in the way of recovery. And you'll probably need another x-ray in six weeks to see if everything has healed.
"If the pain is too much to bear, I can get you medication for it. You shouldn't have to suffer an uncomfortable recovery."
