How are broken ribs set?
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.
What causes soreness in the ribs and is tender when pressing?
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.
Is there still pain a week after a fracture?
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.
