Took me about 9 months for several cracked ribs. Don't breathe shallow to reduce the pain. That has a chance of leading to pneumonia.
Beat me to it.

Prayers brother. Did CPR on a guy a month or so ago. 3 cracked ribs and 2 dislocated ribs. He will feel better in 6-9 months.
A friend at UGA cracked ribs with a terrible bought of bronchitis back in the day. It caused great pain for him to cough, laugh and sneeze. We broke out our best jokes for him.

Beef broth will help with the bruising and inflamation. Really.

Wife says I need one of these
I suspect The Redhead is having the same ideas since I started having heart problems. Only thing though is in a lot of my ramblings they would need a helicopter or boat to get to me in most of the places I`m in nowadays.

I’m about a week in. Yesterday wasn’t too bad. Today is the opposite of yesterday

It took me about 6 weeks to get past the spasms that "take your breath" and then a couple more months to get the residual pain to fully subside (felt more like a bruise after those first 6 weeks).
Moved from the On Topic forum to the Campfire forum to protect all the posters who have never known @Throwback to make a serious post.

Wrap it up good and tight and ingest as much Irish whiskey as your system will tolerate without rejecting it (use the cheap stuff just in case). Find a quiet place and wait for 2 to 3 weeks for this treatment to have the proper effect. Renew the application of whiskey as often as needed to remain sane during the recovery process.

FWIW...
A lot of people don't know this but when CPR is properly administered, damage to the ribs frequently occurs. Most people don't push hard enough to actually compress the heart.
I didn't know this until a few years ago.

Fact. And it can be a bit disconcerting when you're feeling them pop and break under your hands.

I bruised my ribs about 5wks. ago. I still feel a slight pain when I go toThe next chapter in my never ending list of injuries is bruised ribs

lay down or move a certain way. I still remained active with chainsaw,etc. so
I think this may have prolonged my healing. Some days you feel healed and the next you feel like u re injured....
That would be about as painful as we can ever imagine.
