hi#  ribs are  very painful, in that way ,any injury to the chestdue to the rich nervous innervation.this pain persists for more than 4  to  6 weeks, inspite of taking pain killers.slow  deep breathing exercises, with moderate incentive  spirometry will help in slow pain relief and also prevents from atelactasis  or collapse.sometimes local pain relief gels also maybe of help.all the besttake care
