Thank you MelodyL,
After talking with the CT surgeon, he does not feel I am a candidate for rib resection, and thinks my body just needs more time to try and heal on it's own. This is mostly great news!

I will tough it out and continue trying to manage the pain. He thinks some physical therapy might speed up the recovery process.

I read a clinical study done in Japan, in a 2009 Journal of Sports Science and Medicine that shows good outcomes with bone stimulation

If anyone has tried a bone stimulator, with any signs of success, I would love to know about it.
