I'm surprised that you were not given x-rays of your ribs to make sure (if broken) they are not puncturing anything else. Broken and/or cracked ribs take about 6 weeks to heal, just as any other bone that may be broken. Decoy Duck Â· 9 years ago.

Broken and bruised ribs are generally treated in the same way, so it's not usually necessary to have an X-ray to determine what your exact injury is.roken (fractured) or bruised ribs are usually caused by a fall or blow to the chest, or occasionally by severe coughing. They can be very painful, but will normally improve within about three to six weeks.
