i beleive i have a fractured rib or two...no med. insurance, i got some tape for wrapping my right side, should i leave the tape on constantly (except showering) or should there be some time when i take the tape off? my friend works in a hospital, she said not to wrap the whole chest, jjust the right side so that my lungs can fully expand. would an xray be pointless since all it will say is "its fractured wrap it up" or "its not fractured, just bruised, take it easy" and i really cannot afford one
