Duration of a rib contusion
Depending on the intensity of the violence, the course and duration of the pain is highly variable. The healing of a rib contusion proceeds only slowly. On average, the duration of a rib contusion is three to four weeks.
However, courses of 10 or more weeks have also been described. The duration is longer if several ribs are affected or the force applied was very strong. An early start of sports or any other kind of stress also has negative effects.
