An arm sling is not typically used for bruised ribs, as it is designed to support and immobilize the arm and shoulder. Bruised ribs generally require rest, ice, and pain management rather than immobilization of the arm. It's best to follow your healthcare provider's advice for treating bruised ribs, which may include avoiding activities that worsen the pain and using over-the-counter pain relievers. If you have concerns about your injuries, consult a medical professional for appropriate care.
Ribs 6-12 protect the liver along with the bottom of the sternum
To protect shoulders, upper chest, ribs, upper thighs, head, and abdomen.
Very painful. Seven fractured ribs in nine places was an experience wished not to have. You have trouble breathing without pain. Do not even laugh, it hurts so bad. There is nothing that can really be done for fractured ribs, so they take a lot of time to heal. The ribs are in an area that protect vital and sensitive organs. As stated above the lungs are one such area that the ribs protect. The ribs being broken alone can cause a great deal of pain but there is always the question of whether anything had been bruised or if there was any damage to any of the areas that the ribs protect. This would of course cause even further pain to exist.
I bruised my left ribs recently. It's been about a week and I am now feeling pain and discomfort right below the bottom of the rib cage. could this be a bruised pancreas? Thanks for your feed back

No there is no such thing, but it is possible to get certain dysfunctions in your ribs. (Broken, bruised, dislocation, etc.)
your ribs are like a hard shield that stands infrunt of the organs and stuff to protect it. =D
