broken ribs after 5 month are unhealed.

I had broken ribs 9 and 10. April 3. I thought they would heal on their own so I didn't go to the Dr.'s for 5 weeks. They have not healed after several months. X-rays show radiating calcfications perpendicular to the fractures, but no calcification reaching for the other end of the rib. This happened in April. Now it's nearly September and my posture is changing, my knees seem at a different angle and my bite had changed. I'm walking and sitting on different bones or so it seems. I also have a condition where L4 slides over L5 (15%). It could be more than that by now. I'm afaid I'm going to have a body collapse since my knees are painful and don't look like before and my back has become round. It's quite debilitating and I feel a deep, profound weakness in my chest. Can you help me?

The Calf Skin provides the calf with constant compression for both calf and shin area. Excellent in helping reduce shin splints, Bio Skin's light weight and low profile make it very easy to wear.
