In rare cases, individuals with bruised ribs may notice a visible deformity or protrusion in the affected area. This symptom can be the result of severe bruising, swelling, or a displaced rib fracture.
If you notice any visible deformities or protrusions, it’s essential to seek immediate medical attention, as these symptoms may indicate a more severe injury requiring urgent care. A healthcare professional can conduct a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests such as X-rays or CT scans, to determine the extent of the injury and recommend appropriate treatment. (9)
