It takes about 8-12 weeks to heal the bone and about the same for the muscle. Your pain should improve significantly by then. There is no change in healing rate compared to # of broken ribs. It takes about 8-12 weeks to heal the bone and about the same for the muscle.
Figure 7.14 Environments of metamorphism in the context of plate tectonics: (a) regional metamorphism related to mountain building at a continent-continent convergent boundary, (b) regional metamorphism of oceanic crust in the area on either side of a spreading ridge, (c) regional metamorphism of oceanic crustal rocks within a subduction zone, (d) contact metamorphism adjacent to a magma body at a high level in the crust, and (e) regional metamorphism related to mountain building at a ...
Metamorphism affecting a large area or regional metamorphism involves large increases of temperature and pressure. Contact metamorphism is common at both convergent and divergent plate boundaries, in areas where molten rock is produced. Regional metamorphism largely occurs at convergent plate boundaries. Each of these types of metamorphism produces typical metamorphic rocks, but they may occur in different sequences. For example, both regional and contact metamorphism produce schists and shales.
