How long can an inflamed rib last? i went to the doctor five days ago. she gave me ibuprofen and muscle relaxants. it seems to get better, then recurs.

Rib pain: Your pain may be due to intercostal neuralgia, which is an inflammtion of the nerve running under the nerve. If pain persists despite Ibuprofen you might need anerve block.
