Please advise if it's okay to play baseball with minor bruised ribs after several days of rest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I don't see any problem with that. Let pain be your guide - if playing results in severe pain then you may need to continue resting a few more days. If pain remains severe/persistent then see a doctor to get evaluation/x-rays.
