Bruised rib? How long to recover?

when i injured my rib it took quite a long time to get back into the swing of things i think i didnt help it by continued training it was only when i completely gave it rest it healed was month or two for me but i trained and aggravated it so maybe recover in few weeks time

 

I wasn't boxing yet but I broke 2 of my ribs while working construction. Don't try to rush it if when you stretch it really hurts need more time and I would sugest that even after it feels good again take it easy for a few weeks while training. sry can't give you a good time set but iv seen people recover at difrent speeds

 

I got hit in sparring once, and i wouldn't say it was too bad, but it did bother me for about 5 weeks. Takes a while to heal. Sucks.

 

Like others have said, injured ribs take their own sweet time to heal. I broke a couple many years ago and it took about three months before I could get back into any contact sport. I'd say, off the bat, you're looking at about a month or so to be safe if they are only bruised. Could be you tore some of the connective tissue between them too, and that will take time.

 

you can'tt work outt during this time. you absolutely need to rest. it took me about three weeks recovery time before i stepped back in the gym. even if it feels better, you still ahve to let it heal.

 

the right side of my ribs goes inwards and the last rib points outwards if i sit a certain way and bend my obliques a certain way :| if its not like that then no its not a fractured or broken rib

 

I injured mine dureing sparring were i took a left hook to the ribs. Was no visible bruising but like you said cant sleep or laugh took about a month for it to completley go back to normal.

 

Some guys seem to heal faster than others. Don't expect any particular period of convalescence. The time to start serious training in usually when you can move, twist and stretch your body without pain.
