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.

Ouch! It takes about 6-8 weeks for ribs to heal adequate that you'll commence to workout consultation conveniently. Tai Chi is an wonderful type of workout, and considering that it really is a cushty flow of the body, you should be able to proceed this without a lot discomfort. be careful about any leaping or pulling workouts, if it hurts stop. also be attentive to heavy lifting for at lest 3 months. My husband broke 3 ribs, and cracked the sternum it took him many months of careful moves till now he might want to do any type of workout and heavy lifting. Wishing you a short restore

Could be a cracked rib or a torn intracostal muscle...if you really want to know, or need something for pain, go get an xray...there isn't much to be done for a broken rib..sometimes you get taped up, sometimes just the pain meds.

Hey, we are not doctors and only doctors can diagnose with seeing a patient in person.
Get your butt and ribs to a doctor for a complete physical...nerve and muscle plus other damage is real.....are you kidding here by asking for a "word description diagnosis"?

Go get some xrays done, sounds like you have something there and see the severity of it.
