### output:

Hi, Thank you providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you met an accident and have injured 5 ribs, and you have on bruising over your thigh and swelling of right leg. Since you mentioned you have numbness and burning sensation over the right thigh it could be healing of the soft tissue of the skin. But to ask, have you taken any x-ray or MRI of the lumbar spine. As usually in RTA one shouldn't ignore spine. Any injury to spine is initially undetected and later gives symptoms. So I will recommend taking that.Also, to advice you, is to perform regular breathing exercises. There are types of it and a physical therapist can teach you.- Deep breathing- Purse lip breathing-Costal Breathing-Abdominal breathing.- Coughing and Huffington - perform all exercises by placing the hand over the injured ribs. As it will restrict the mobility of the ribs and will not interfere in healing.Also, this breathing exercises will help you gain strength in the muscles of respiration and also the abdominal muscles. Post this kindly do some simple upper limb and lower limb exercises to keep the joint mobility maintained and also the muscle property. Muscles should not go into wasting. Also you need to keep the right leg over the pillow when you are lying down to remove the metabolic waste. Due to metabolic waste the healing can be delayed to its better to focus on each corner. Later on once Your ribs turns out to be good, slowly progress to core stability and spine stretching so in future you will have a good and strong spine. As you must have noticed about the professional riders they all have a good abs, it is because to have a strong spine. Spine is the important segment of the human body which connects the upper and lower half of the body. Later on you will be focussing on lower limb strengthening as the best, so the weaker muscle becomes strong, and you have a strong regain. Also, if possible kindly take an MRI just to have a doubt clear that the spine is safe. The symptoms of burning and numbness can be because of it, so for ruling out this one doubt its on a safer side to get it done. I hope to see you soon with your motorcycle again. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery regards
