I've broken ribs in the past.
I was never told they would never heal though. But be aware of taking medical advice off the internet. Get a second professional opinion. Pay for an X-ray if you haven't had one.
Broken ribs are Very painful and absolutely NOTHING medically you can do apart from wait and see and don't take any further risks until they are healed.
Diet and lifestyle will make a difference. Take Calcium and vitamin D3 and eat a healthy diet to promote healing.
DO NOT SMOKE. Smoking inhibits bone healing and bone growth in general.
Same goes for too much alcohol.
Best of luck to you. Hope you're well soon.
