Take about 3-4 weeks to rest before getting back to work. Also remember to breathe as normally as possible. Shallow breaths can increase your risk of pneumonia. You may be able to train other parts of the body that donât cause pain or further injury to the ribs.
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. If the ribs are cracked or broken, you could be in for a lengthy recovery. My two broken ribs took about three months before I could function without discomfort.
