A member asked:
Why does my left sided rib fracture still hurt after 3 months ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May not have healed : Usually broken ribs heal in 2-3 months but occasionally it may take little longer as long as it continues to improve and it is not getting worse in terms of pain just give it some more time to heal completely hopefully it will resolve soon good luck if the pain is getting worse however then talk to your doctor so he may check it out.
