You will have a tender rib cage months later. I jumped off a diving board about six months after getting kicked in the ribs at Tae Kwon Do and when the water closed in around me I thought I got kicked again. I had totally forgotten about it until I felt the sudden pain.

Also, don' wrap it like they did in the past. It will limit your breating and could lead to pneumonia or, if the break is bad enough, push the bone in and puncture your lung.

By three weeks there's usually a pronounced decrease in pain. There may be occasional discomfort, but it isn't bad.
