Question
How long does it take to heal. Or about how long

Answer
Valerie,

Healing time for fractures varies from person to person. Elderly people typically need more time to heal completely. In general, rib fractures take between 3 to 8 weeks to heal. Obviously, the person with a rib fracture must avoid strenuous activity.
