Can I work with a broken rib?


If you or a loved one has fractured a bone from an accident, contact America’s Consumer Lawyer for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

A broken rib occurs when a bone in the ribcage is broken or cracked. Since doctors cannot put a cast around your ribcage to treat the fracture, they prescribe other types of treatment that you are in charge of, such as rest, pain medications, or gentle exercises. It is generally considered a good idea to take rest following such a fracture in order to avoid further damage.

If your job requires physical labor, it would likely be best to avoid working during the healing process. And if your injury is severe and makes daily tasks difficult to do, you should not overexert yourself and exacerbate the injury and its damage. If you have a desk job or one requiring no sudden or large movements, you may be safe to continue working. But as always, consult your doctor to see what the best option for your injury is.
