First off I have to ask if it was accidental or on purpose? You probably should get an exray to be on the safe side. The 2 can feel the same but one gets pain killers and the other gets just ice really. And if its cracked then you could be in danger of it puncturing your lung too. Thats something that the doctor really needs to look at to be on the safe side.
Ive had 2 cracked ribs exactly 6 weeks apart and know EXACTLY what you are going through. It was 12 weeks of sheer hell. But it does eventually heal when treated properly.

Either way you should visit a doctor and see what is wrong. If you are having trouble breathing your ribs could be cracked. if it is just a little uncomfortable, the it could be just a bruise. But go see a doctor anyway,you never know. Or it could be cracked and you just don't know it. See a doctor and dump the boyfriend

Yes. You should go to the nearest hospital E.R. and get checked out as quickly as possible tonight! I'M TAKING FOR GRANTED THAT THIS WASN'T AN ACCIDENT, BUT AN ASSAULT...IF SO, GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND CALL 911 NOW, AND GET HELP! ARE THERE CHILDREN THERE WITH YOU?
YOU NEED TO PROBABLY REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO THE POLICE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND ASK THEM TO GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY, ESPECIALLY TO HAVE YOURSELF CHECKED FOR "INTERNAL INJURIES" THAT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN HIS KICKING YOU, THAT COULD BE LIFE-THREATENING. Cracked ribs aren't anything to play around with either, in case they're jabbing your internal organs! The E.R. might also have something there for "cracked ribs", and for bruising as well. You may also want to get the tel. # for an abuse shelter to distance yourself from this "boyfriend".
People who love you do not kick you.
GET HELP IMMEDIATELY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND WELL-BEING TONIGHT! And, for any children if any are there with you! You NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY! PLEASE CALL THE POLICE: DIAL 911 -- AND GET HELP NOW!
GOD BLESS YOU!!

I would go get it checked and if you 2 were not just playing around then I would dump him. Hope you are okay
