A relative has broken a rib and is in a lot of pain. They received two days' worth of opioid painkillers at the hospital which have been used and they are still in too much pain to sleep or work. Before requesting an additional prescription, we wanted to know what the typical prescription is for a broken rib.

The internet is all over the place, from "people take opioids for more than a week" to "just take NSAIDS".

Note that my relative cannot take NSAIDs due to another health condition. They are at the maximum tylenol dose and it's not helping.

My relative does not want to get flagged as a drug seeker but is also in a lot of pain.
