broken rib.

[sienna.]

yes i am anorexic and i know my bones are brittle and what not. so i am guessing it may take longer.

but how long does it take for a broken rib to heal??

thanks..

It depends really, have you seen a doctor about it to see what they could do to help?

I would say about 8-10 weeks for a bone to heal however it depends on each person.

Well, if you aren't gettin the proper nutrition, you very well may not heal at all until your body can receive the nutrients it needs to repair itself. So, go to a doctor, and get vitamins or something, and get help for the anorexia first.

Pretty much this. If you are anorexic and your body can't get nutrients for itself, it might not heal at all. Go to a doctor and get it all sorted out.

I broke one of my ribs a year ago and it was healed after 6 weeks. I'm not anorexic though
