I was going to get off my bed and i jumped and hit the bottom of the bed and i slipped and hit my tv stand thats next to my bed and i fell sideways and my middle ribs broke my fall...according to my mom that good that i hit up higher. It doesnt hurt that bad when i breath in or out, my lungs sound good. it only really hurt when i move the wrong way or sneeze, cough or laugh. but i dont know if i cracked anything or fracture it, i know i didnt brake it. I have like a 3in by 2in bruise on my ribs and i have either a bone or a knott stickin out on the side...not sure what it is....dont know if i want to go to urgent care because they cant really do anything beside rap it up in bandages......any body know what i did ? what i hurt ?

Might be cracked. Probably not. Even so , I wouldn't recommend medical attention. It will cost you money and, as you've already said, there's really nothing they can do about it. Unless money, for you, is not an issue and not knowing for sure is just absolutely driving you nuts, then go for it.

If it's a cracked rib, nothing can be done, more likely that's the problem, If you feel you may have broken something, ask you doctor if you just cracked a rib.

Sounds like a cracked rib to me. Doctor's really don't do much about those
