Answers:
The ribs will take weeks, even a few months, to heal. The hand will heal much faster, maybe within a week or two, especially if you keep it clean and apply ointment. I'd be a bit concerned about the swelling, though - this could mean more infection, needing antibiotics. You should see a doctor to be sure (also to get an x-ray to be sure you haven't also cracked ribs).Health Question & Answer

I would say maybe a month before you're fully back to your normal self. I broke 2 ribs last year and it wasn't healed for 3 months! And as for the hand, I would say that would probably heal within a week or so.Health Question & Answer
