you dont bruise when you break a rib ,but the pain is awful especially in bed at night turnig over and getting up is a killer,it hurts to breath and walkand talk.There is no treatment for a broken rib except rest ,no bandaging up or anything,it doesnt sound like you have one as you would know.I am just getting over one now .

Go to the Doctor and get an xray. It could be a bruised or broken rib or a pulled muscle.

x-ray is pretty much the only sure fire way. If you have a bruise near the hurting area its a good sign of a broken rib too.

You need to get an x-ray to determine if you have a broken rib. Sometimes you can have an infection in your lungs that can be painful as well. If it hurts to breathe, please go the E.R. or your doctor.

It will definately hurt to take a deep breath. You should get it checked if it does.
