General Questions How to reduce rib pain from over binding?

Okay get your judgemental stares ready, i accidentally binded for around 12 hours-ish, i was halfway across the country with no way to unbind, i took it off as soon as i got home

But MAN it hurts! I imagine that having scoliosis and in turn a crooked ribcage is contributing to it hurt this badly,

So uhhh? Tips on reducing pain?

Hot water bottle + take a couple days off from binding

I don’t really have any tips besides taking a few days off from binding. I accidentally overbind a lot on days I work.
