From an Internet article on bruised ribs:
Bruised ribs are notorious for their long healing time. Unfortunately, there is little you can do about bruised ribs as they tend to heal on their own. Typical healing time for bruised ribs is anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks. Once, you are diagnosed for bruised ribs, it is important that you prevent them from any further damage.
Tonight: Naproxen. Ice. Stretch. Hot shower.

Oh no! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks, Michelle. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Hi Bob,
I know how much this hurts. I bruised a rib one time, not through sparring, but snowboarding one time. It took about a month and a half to heal. I suggest taking a bath with Epsom salt, a diet higher in proteins to help with the healing process, and rest.
