I talked to Madam Pomfrey, both about treating a broken bone that wasn't set right, and about internal injuries.
Unfortunately I couldn't get her to tell me anything specific. You really need a proper She did say that Skele-Gro wouldn't help you unless you removed the bones first, and you definitely wouldn't want to do THAT. Honestly I'm a lot more worried about the pain that's keeping you from standing up properly. I could tell you a pain relief charm that will make you feel a bit better but here's the thing, you shouldn't use that charm and then walk around straightened up because probably if your body is saying 'hunch over, don't stand up straight' it's because standing up straight would make the injury worse. Do you see what I'm saying? So I'm going to tell you the charm because I think you have a right to be able to use it. But don't use it unless you really need it. It's 'remedia dolor' and you point your wand at the place that hurts and if you do it right it takes away most of the pain. It wears off after a while, or if you want, 'finite incantem' stops it. You might use it before you go to sleep at night, if Carrow's asleep or not there. You'll sleep better and it'll wear off before you get up in the morning.
Healers don't use this charm much because they know how to actually FIX what's WRONG and if you cover up the pain they have a harder time knowing what's wrong and whether they've fixed it properly. I tested it on myself just now and it works a treat on a bruise, though. (I slipped while running today and knocked my knee. I'm at the CCF camp right now.)
I wish we could even just get you to Mrs Weasley, if we can't get you Madam Pomfrey. Fred and George, maybe you could pry more information out of your mum than I got from Madam Pomfrey? I think I might have gotten more from her if I'd been talking to her in person. Anyway, your mum knows a lot of healing spells even if she isn't a HEALER.
