I went to a party thinking I was just going there to socialize. But, a friend of mine became hyper after having something to drink decided to start jabbing at me. Then someone else tried to pick me up. I got squeezed in the process. I just feel some pain around my right rib cage every day .

Get X-ray. Or wait till it pokes your lung and you start throwing up blood.

What does a cracked rib feel like?
Symptoms of a fracture to the ribs are:
Pain Restricted to One Spot that worsens when:
A Deep Breath is Taken
The Area Is Pressed On
The Person Twists at the Waist
With a broken rib, the pain tends to be sharp; if the ribcage merely aches, the bones may just be bruised.
Note: A broken rib does not necessarily have to follow an injury.

Only way to tell if you broke a rib is if u bend over and you have a sharp pain and the pain is going down your leg and it is difficult to breath and if there is alot of swelling and bruising My suggestion is go get it checked there really is nothing you can do for a broken rib unless the bone is broken from the rib cage..Pediatric nurse for 13 years

Not much the doctor can do if your rip is broken. Ribs will heal naturally over time. Just gotta take it easy for a few weeks. But, you should see a doctor right away to know for sure.

if you had broken a rib, it would have hurt so bad you would have gone to the e.r.
a bruised rib can hurt really, really bad, though, and that is probably what is going on. not much to do but take some sort of pain reliever until the pain goes away.

There is no point in going to the doctor, all they will do is wrap your body in tight bandages and tell you it will heal in 6 wks. My mom breaks her ribs all the time (she's older it's a long story) and that is what they do every time.
It really hurts when you breath and move.

If, it Broke you can feel it, just take your fingers and feel one side that good and then the bad side. If, it just Cracked then it will heal on it's own. If, you have insurance go to Doctor and he may put one of those Elastic Type things around you. If, you not have Insurance Wal-Wort and other places sell them for about $10 and you can wrap it around yourself. They help it feel better until it heal.
