A member asked:
What are the symptoms of a bruised rib- what does it feel like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: A bruised rib is mainly painful, especially if you breathe in or if you push on it. A chest or rib xray can tell if the rib is bruised or broken, although, in reality, unless there is collapse of the lung, there is nothing really to do about a broken rib except for time and healing.
