Well, even if your rib is cracked, there's really nothing they can do for a broken rib. All they'll do is bind it with some silly Ace bandage thing and send you home. However, it may be a good idea to go to your family doctor and get an X-ray so he can make sure you didn't puncture any internal organs or cause internal bleeding. I bet you just bruised your ribs, but if it hurts that bad you may want to go get it checked out. Also, I'm concerned about why your mom would think you're faking. Do you pretend to have injuries often? If your mom won't take you and it's still hurting you in 24 hours, get a ride or take a bus down to the ER.

This is exactly how I broke two ribs. They dont do anything for broken ribs anymore except maybe tell you to get a rib wrap if it hurts when breathing. If it keeps up I would see a regular doctor rather than eat the cost of the emergency room for something they will do nothing about. A regular md will give you some pain pills, possibly a rib wrap for half the cost of the ER.

have your mom take you yo the emergency room
you could have internal bruising
it is very painful
i am sorry to hear your mom doesn't care enough to have you checked out
ice and alcohol will do nothing
at the very least the doctor can tape you up and prescribe pain medication for you
find a responsible adult to take you
they cant't treat you without an adults consent

you could have bruised or broken some ribs....broken ribs can then puncture the lungs--making it hard to breathe, or broken ribs can puncture the organs that they were meant to protect, such as the liver, the stomach, the spleen, etc....or you could be bleeding internally---you just don't know when u fall....go to the ER as soon as possible, call an ambulance if u have to.....it could be nothing, or everything i've described and more!

Sounds like you might have bruised ribs or a possible fracture. Tell your mom that she needs to get you to the hospital ASAP! Ribs are nothing to mess with. they are to close to your lungs and could punture one. Not good.

Go to the ER. You could have internal trauma and not know it or you could have cracked ribs. Chances are that you most likly have some bruising and tenderness...but I would not take the risk.

YOU'RE PROBABLY JUST BRUISED UP PRETTY BADLY. BUT IF IT HURTS THAT BAD THEN YOU SHOULD REALLY HAVE YOUR MOM TAKE YOU IN TO SEE THE DOC
