Bruised ribs are notorious for their long healing time. Unfortunately, unlike other bones of the body, ribs cannot be placed in a cast, which is why we need to wait for them to heal on their own. Typical healing time for bruised ribs is anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks.However, some may take even longer. The actual healing time required will vary depending on the severity of the bruise and muscle injury.ruised ribs are different from broken or cracked ribs in a way that in broken ribs the injury is directly inflicted upon the bone, while in bruised ribs the surrounding muscle area is affected. Bruised ribs are not as dangerous as broken ribs because broken ribs can injure the heart and lungs.
