Each person will take a different amount of time to heal. In most cases, a fractured rib will heal within 6 weeks.
this could take longer than a month, even if it is only a hairline fracture, painful as it is, just do not move to o fast or lift anything heavier than a couple of pounds.
In my case, the broken rib I have will not heal because a cyst is blocking the area where the bone would be generated.
It depends on the person and the magnitude of the rib fracture, meaning it can vary from around three days to never.
10 - 12 weeks. If you don't do light exercises along with it it could take up to 6 months to heal.
If your baby's rib is broken PLEASE take the baby immediately to the hospital! The hospital can answer your question for your baby's specific case.
well, it depends how hard you get hit, a rib injury is a very common injury to have but if you do have a rib injury it will take 5 or 6 weeks for it could heal but whatever you do, do not break your ribs because it will be even more deadly.
Usually, they aren't. Most rib fractures are just left to heal on their own. Often a rib belt will be provided or sometimes the rib cage will be taped, but if it's a minor fracture, you'll be told to just take it easy and don't make it worse. On the other hand, if a rib is completely broken, with sharp edges and a possibility of puncturing a lung, it will be surgically wired to minimize further risk. Only an x-ray will determine if the break is severe enough to justify surgery.
Maybe you have a bruised rib. These take a while to heal, but eventually will. If the pain worsens, I suggest seeing a doctor. It could be soemthing deeper than the rib.
Usually yes. The duration of the pain will depend on where the fracture is. For example, the pain from a fractured rib can last 6 weeks- 2 months since this area is always moving when you breathe and takes longer to heal. I have fractured my rib twice and my ankle and the pain for both lasted for quite a while. Just rest it as much as you can and get as much calcium and vitamin D as you can to help the healing process of the bone.
Defrost in the refrigerator for 7 hours per pound.
Hip fractures are high the older you get.
There is no such medical condition as a torn cartilage in the rib area. If you have had injury, you can get a fracture of ribs or just bruising from trauma
