Rib fractures, nonlinear, non-union, any way to fix it 3 months post trauma?

3 months ago I fell on my side on a tree stump and went to the ER in extreme pain and barely able to breathe. I was concerned about possible internal injury since pain was so severe. Now 3 months later I am feeling much better but still have sensation of movement and a lot of discomfort especially while in the front seats of a car with bucket seats. I have to either lean forward if I'm driving or sit twisted in the seat so the curved part of the seat doesn't put pressure on the protrusion of the broken ribs. Had I known that things were this out of line, I would have had it set early on. Any advice out there?
