There's a difference between the bare minimum to come back versus being healthy. With 5 cracked ribs he's not going to be able to throw very far or be very mobile.

I work in the medical field as a nurse anesthetist and we offer a procedure call cryoneurolysis for procedures like fractured ribs. What happens is a needle is positioned right next to the intercostal nerve of the fractured rib posterior to the fracture. The nerve is then frozen and loses it’s innervation to transmit pain. Now, as long as the rib is healing and not at risk of further damage, the pain can be controlled. This procedure is suppose to stop the pain for 3-6 months or as long as it takes for the nerve to regenerate. I know it’s offered in the New Orleans area. We mainly do it for total knees for recovery but it’s also being used in fractured rib applications.
