Hey, Russell:
Really sorry about the broken ribs! VERY painful and they object to any movement at all. I just bruised my ribs sliding down the stairs, but don't think any are broken. A month on and still hurting.
MS Contin is about the strongest I know of. I have been taking Percocet off and on. It is a little better in some ways--easier to function, but the cottonmouth is killer.
Good luck in pain management and especially quick healing,
John
