Broken Rib

No, not the boat

Due to a tarmac surfing incident following being unseated from my
motorcycle I've currently got a broken rib [T4/T5]. I realise I can't
dive at present, I can barely lift a 3L pony so a twin-set will be out
of the question. Also I doubt that the diving and Tramdol are a good
idea.

However, anyone done this before and know if I need a medical before
getting back in the water? I assuming at present that if I wait long
enough the rib will heal and the pain stop [ 6 weeks or so?]. At that
point I can go diving again?

There was no damage to the lung picked up by the hospital so apart
from the rib the only other damage I have is bruising to my hip and
some missing skin on the elbows.
