Pain that worsens with physical activity is a common symptom of bruised ribs. Activities that involve twisting, bending, or lifting can place additional strain on the injured rib and surrounding tissues, exacerbating pain and discomfort.

Gradually reintroducing physical activity as your injury improves can help ensure a safe and effective recovery. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on when and how to resume regular activities. (7)
