My doc is booked for the next month so we spoke over the phone. I was advised to take Aleve and although it has helped I am still in much pain. Once in a while, it does hurt to breathe. No bruising. Looks puffy and inflamed though.
do you have any difficulty breathing? are there any signs of bruising? Recovery time is depending on whether your rib was fractured or simply bruised. Why not swing by the doctor's office to have them take a look?
