how serious is this?
I also have the same fracture. I fell a year ago, landed on my left side cracking the 11th rib as well. It has been a slow recovery. My rib is healed but still have problems surrounding the L1 area. I am being sent for accupuncture to relax the muscles surrounding the L1 so that the bone will heal.
