Cracked Ribs

Ok, looks like I've joined the club finally and cracked my first rib kiteboarding.
Happened after my mystic warrior harness started to come somewhat loose in strong wind. Boosted big off a wave and came down hard doing a loop. Kept kiting after that. But realised it was cracked when I felt it move the next time I crashed.
Hurts not too bad. Vietnamese doctor had no real advice but just gave me some codeine tablets.
How long till the pain goes away? How long should I avoid kiting?
