  There isn't much you can do about broken ribs afaik? And the broken arm depends on the type of break. I split my humorous bone length ways.

    > If I didn't move my arm it was fine but if I moved it, wow, 2nd most painful experience in my life. Yeah it's interesting how this works. I once broke my collar bone (I tried jumping up a curb on my bike, the handle bars fell off and I went collar bone first into the edge of the curb). I ended up carrying my bike home in pieces for half a mile and remember it not being too bad. As long as I kept my arm at my side it didn't feel any different than normal but when I lifted up my arm it was one of the sharpest pains I've ever experienced. I only ended up having a hairline fracture too.
