A bruised rib typically causes pain for several weeks, with most discomfort lasting around 3 to 6 weeks as the injury heals. The intensity and duration of the pain can vary depending on the severity of the bruise and individual pain tolerance. While rest and pain management can help alleviate discomfort, activities that strain the rib area may prolong healing. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if the pain worsens or if breathing becomes difficult.
