Bruised or cracked... won't make a difference in the treatment or healing time.
Just DON'T SNEEZE (personal experience).

You wally! :)
The fact that there is a small spot whenever you touch it causing really bad pain is suggestive of cracked ribs
The rest of it is either a torn muscle or a bruise.
You should take some pain relief if the pain is bad enough. (paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen if you are not allergic)
See a doctor if you think it is inhibiting your breathing.

Go to the doctor and they'll tell you exactly what is wrong. I wouldn't know what it feels like to break anything. I don't play safe or stay inside, i just haven't broken anything. But i have accidently cut myself a lot. Very irrelevant.
