Does a broken rib lead to breathing problems?

Yes, a broken rib can lead to breathing problems because the pain and limited motion caused by the injury can make it difficult to take deep breaths. In severe cases, a broken rib can puncture a lung, which can cause more serious breathing issues. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have a broken rib to prevent complications.


Would a broken rib cause nausea?

If ribs are confirmed to be fractured, swelling could cause pressure to surrounding organs. Since fractured bones could take sometime to heal, nerves and muscle surrounding the bones can make someone feel pain in the injured area and pain can cause nausea.


How long does it take a broken rib to heal?

It usually takes around 4-6 weeks for a broken rib to heal. The healing process can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the fracture. It's important to rest and avoid activities that may aggravate the injury during this time.


What is the difference in a fractured bone and a broken bone?

A cracked rib is only partially broken; the rib is still mostly intact and able to do its job, and doesn't need (or have) any special treatment except not doing what cracked it in the first place. A broken rib is more dangerous, as there are two loose ends floating around that may pierce internal organs and do a lot more damage to you. It requires medical attention to ensure this does not happen, but there is not much more that can be done than keep an eye on it.


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.
