how sore are bruised ribs?

Question:

Answers:
Bruised ribs can be very painful. The ribs move when you breathe, move, laugh, or cough, so it is like you are continuously "reinjurying" them. And they heal rather slowly: Bruised ribs and a costochondral separation usually take 3 to 4 weeks to heal. The attached site has more information including treatment.

Other Answers:
Bruised ribs can be very painful and mimic a fracture. In some cases they can cause interfeerance with breathing properly and last a period of time. If you are experincing subtantal pain, shortness of breath or any other problem that concerns you, please see a doctor or other medical professional as soon as possible to properlly diagnose and treat you.

I have fractured all my ribs and also brused them a few times and it hurt to breath, sneaze and cough. It is painful and will last a few weeks. If you go to the doctor they will say lets xray, they are broken or brused, go home and take it easy, will that be cash, check or charge.
