Would broken ribs heal on their own properly?

a fractured rib and a broken rib are the same thing.  They used to wrap broken ribs, but not any more.  They will heal on their own.  Just be sure to put a pillow over the fracture if you are going to cough, sneeze, or poop.  The increased pressure will hurt your ribs pretty bad if you strain and this will help splint the injury.

You dont really. Its just like any other type of bruise, it just heals on it own.

they might be fractured, I did that once, there is not much they can do for it, just give you some thing for pain, they will give you a wrap to put around your ribs, when that happened to me, it made it feel better to have the wrap on, maybe wrap it your self, or go to the doc, maybe have it looked at, they can give you a better wrap, and some thing for pain, and have it x-rayed, it might be fractured and poking a lung or some thing

no, it usually repairs itself if damaged

Why haven't you visited your doctor and get a professional opinion yet?  Is it ribs or a hernia?  I would get it checked out and find out treatment methods instead of repeating the injury.

Yes, I was in a car accident and broke back in three places and nine ribs on the same side.  Now I have arthritis in my back.  Treatment for me is heat therapy and antiinflammatory meds like motrin.   Keep working that knee even though it hurts, because the alternative is loss of mobility........

Sounds as if you may have cracked a rib.  Yes it would probably be good to see a doctor.  Also consider the cops and a restraining order.  If a fight with your b/f means getting physically beaten, I'd say find a new b/f and tell this one to get lost.

could be. but pain for 2 months? any trauma? did you fall? sound like a broken rib. any coughing? could even be pneumonia. go see your doctor.

It would be best not to do it on your own... the septum has a rich blood supply and if you damage any of the blood vessels while trying to fix it on your own, the bleeding may prove difficult to control and you may end up paying more than you would right now.

That would depends on how much damage is done and if your body can repair it.

I'm no expert, but I would recommend minimizing her torso movement as much as possible. Icing the area could help as well, but do it carefully. No more than 10 minutes at a time, or else you can actually do more hurt than good with ice.\n\nI don't know what the doc recommended for pain reduction, but most of the time it's either heat or cold. With a back strain or spasm or the like (muscle problem), it's usually heat applied. With a break or sprain or the like, it's usually ice. I'd double-check with the doc before you do anything. Minimizing movement is important, though. Any movement of a broken bone is painful...ribs will likely be more so.\n\nI hope you can find something to help her. :-) Broken ribs are a difficult injury to deal with.

Sounds like you have answered your own question.  If she's not healthy it will take a lot longer to heal.

Honestly, there's not much you can do.  You could try wrapping your chest with an ace bandage (not too tight!).  This will keep them from moving as much and help reduce the pain.  Did your doctor take an x-ray to make sure they are only cracked not broken?

Yes it is entirely possible.  Your body will rejet it on its own, no intervention is needed.  My mum had this and it took the stitch 2 years to come out (but it was a very deep stitch, not a surface stitch).

Possibly a broken rib.  You can break a rib from something as simple as sneezing.  You can go get an x-ray just to be sure, but there's nothing that can be done for a rib fracture.

I would ask your doctor first.  But if you are all healed and nothing is wrong, i don't see why not.
