I fell down about a week and a half ago and this one side of my rib hurts. Not extreme but still hurts. What can I do. Can't afford to go to the doctor right now. It's not any kind of pain that isn't managable but still. Thanks

Hot bath maybe?

Ribs are made of bones with muscles joining them together. If you banged it against something hard then it will either heal itself within a few weeks. If it continues to hurt for over a long period of time then you have to go to the doctors and check it out because it might be something serious.
Umm...maybe you should try doing breathing exercises (don't know if it helps but it just sprang to mind) and taking a relaxing hot bath might help.

this sounds kinda lame, but you might be to active and if it is bruised, I'd take it easy for a couple days......I'd also have someone wrap it for you.............
hope you feel better
