Hi I was recently in a kung fu tournament and after the tournament I developed pain in the left side of my chest which was extremely painful to touch, breath and twist my body. I was examined by a doctor and was told that I had broken a rib. How long should it take to heal and when will it be safe to go back to kung fu? Can I drive and do the normal things that I usually do? The pain is no where near as bad as when it happened. Thanks
