A broken rib cannot be fixed as the other broken bones are.
Ribs are mended by the body. This process takes time.
The only help we can provide is to try not to move the rib cage and to take pain killers.
A chiropractor can move the rib back to into place. It may take several treatments, but the pain will drop dramatically, and the treatment will be healthy and fairly easy. Dr. Gazdar explains: The corrective adjustment is fairly simple. The chiropractor will use a drop table, activator (a hand-held instrument), or some efficient lever to quickly "pop" the rib back into its proper position. The adjustment must be made precisely and quickly. Total relaxation on the part of the patient is absolutely essential.

If the rib has not yet healed you will need to go back to the doctor and most likely have surgery done to put the rib in place and to also get your stomach a special wrap to keep you from using your stomach muscles as much.
Jewel.
The muscles that expand the rib cage relax and let it fall back into place under its own weight. That leads to higher pressure in the lung that outside and so air moved from the high pressure to the low pressure out of the lung.
No. It is not. It is somewhat unstable since it has no connection to the sterum (breast bone)
the back bone is the vertebrae
they are attached by cartilage formed between the actual rib and the back bone
Yes.

The possible cause for a hard elongated lump on the lower back rib cage is infection. It can also be caused by shingles.
When you have a broken rib you should sleep so that there is no pressure on it. This might mean sleeping on your back or on your good side.
