<s>[INST] I broke my collar bone and first rib this past march and it still hurts around the area. I start nursing school in a week and was hoping I would be completely healed by then, but this does not seem to be the case. Do you know when all the pain should go away completely? [/INST] Hello, Pain is due to local inflammation. Surgery is not required probably. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician </s>
