: I play in a flag football league and I bruised my ribs back in September and they are still quite sore. How long does it generally take for bruised ribs to heal. I went to the er in october and was instructed to take 800 mgs of ibuprofen. However I still have to work. The work I do is not all that physical, but I just want the pain to go away. I can't work out. or even run for a bus ! please advise.
I had that last night, I couldn't sleep, sit, or walk, then I made myself throw-up and I felt way better, I slept, walked, and sat.

Ankle braces go on fast and the athlete does the applying so there is no waiting in line to be taped. Valuable trainer and coach time is saved when taping is eliminated. In an independent sudy of athletes Swede-O ankle braces were chosen as most comfortable.
