A broken rib, or fractured rib, is a common injury that occurs when one of the bones in your rib cage breaks or cracks.. The most common cause of broken ribs is trauma to the chest, such as from a fall, motor vehicle accident or impact during contact sports..

Signs and symptoms of a broken rib include pain, especially when taking a deep breath or pressing on the injured area..

In most cases, treatment of broken ribs is directed at controlling the pain until the fracture heals.. Broken ribs usually heal in about one to two months..

If however you have any worrying symptoms such as these or start to cough up discoloured spit, do get checked out by your GP..

If you become short of breath you should call for an ambulance as it may be that the broken bone has punctured the lung..

hope this helps and god bless you =)
