First of all, if you hit your ribs, I don’t know the extent of your hit, you should first take a film to determine the location and extent of the injury. If there is no injury to the bone, just a soft tissue contusion, recovery is usually 2-3 weeks. If the cartilage in the rib cage has been injured, the time may be 4 weeks or more. If a rib fracture has occurred, this time is around 6-8 weeks, and the recovery time varies by tissue site. Rib fractures are generally more relaxed in terms of alignment, meaning that they generally heal well, even if they are not fully aligned. However, if the chest cavity is affected and there is a pneumothorax or hemothorax, the situation is more serious and requires further treatment. In the absence of these conditions, most of them can be treated conservatively, with braking in order to relieve pain, and the chest can be fixed with tape or a special rib fixation band. Because the special condition of the rib cage is that it moves all the time with breathing, it is more painful for people with rib injuries. After fixation with a band, his breathing will be reduced, which will reduce the pain and speed up its recovery.
