Most bones take an average of 4-6 weeks to heal. However because your ribs move every time you breathe, it may take a little longer.
If you haven't had the break checked out by a doctor, do so, you don't want to find that the break has punctured a lung!
And just keep on the painkillers til it heals!

Hi having a cracked rib all depends how bad the fracture is usually the fracture can take anything up to 10 wks or longer.These days there is no treatment for fractured ribs we used to bandage the rib cage up tight allowing the ribs to heal,now we dont we let them heal by them selfs.Make sure you take a strong medication for the pain as it can be painful for wks.

It depends on how worst did you get,with proper medication and therapy maybe about 1 year to heal.
