Broken rib hurts years later, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib fractures : They healed inappropriately. Simple rib fractures are treated conservatively with pain management only. Certain rib fractures that result in breathing difficulties and / or relentless pain are treated surgically. I use titanium plates to repair the chest wall.
