Need more info.: It's unusual to have this problem over a 5 year span. Fractured ribs usually heal within a month. Please consult with your family physician as this pain may not be from your ribs.

Rib injuries: Did you have xrays when you were injured and did they demonstrate rib fractures? If so it is not uncommon for such patients to have chronic rib cage residual symptoms. It's best to have your physician examine and advise you regarding your symptom and having any rib cage xrays.
