I broke both my legs with tibia fractures and it's been 3 months since surgery. I've started walking slowly but was wondering if having beer or alcohol once or twice a week could slow down bone healing where the fractures happened

I had a minor bike accident a few weeks ago and since then, I've been experiencing this nagging pain on the right side of my ribs, just below my right breast. At first, I assumed it was just a typical muscle pain that would go away, so I tried using Volini gel and a hot gel bag for a couple of weeks. But there was no improvement, so I decided to get an X-ray after my doctor suggested it, and it came back normal. My doctor then put me on some painkillers for muscle pain, and I've been taking them for about a week now. But the pain is still there. It's really intense when I make minor body movements, during sudden jolts while traveling in a bus, car, bike, or rickshaw, and even when I hiccup. Sleeping has become uncomfortable too, as I can't turn to my sides. What should I do to get some relief from this? I would really appreciate some guidance.

Orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.

Removal of the plate might be recommended by your surgeon, but it's not always the only solution; other options could be explored
