unless you broke a rib and it hurt you internally, (usually does not happen) nothing can be done about a cracked or broken rib. it take awhile to heal you can try ice packs or heat, which ever works for you. and wear a tight t-shirt so you hold the ribs tight. take care

I busted my ribs up pretty good in roller derby. It takes alot more impact then you would think to break them, I had some internal bruising that showed up on xrays. They had me ice, then heat off and on all day. Try to make yourself as comfortable as you can, take some sort of perscription pain meds, I was on vicodin for a few days. Its been two months and they still hurt when I do certain things... It takes a long time for that to heal completely

If you have a hard time breathing you have cracked ribs. If it is accompanied by sharp pains you have broken ribs. Go get an X-ray now.

If it was cracked or broken ribs, it would be hurting weather you touched them or not, if they only hurt when you touch them, they are probably just bruised, but go to a doctor for an x-ray just in case.

nope , even if you broke a rib the docs are not going to do nothing but wrap your rib area that's all that can be done,.. try and rest and take a ibuprofen. and what ever you do dont sneeze

even if they are broken, there's nothing you can do. It sounds like they probably are. You need to take it easy, and go see a doctor. If they are broken, they won't give you a cast or anything like that, but they can give you some pain medication, and they need to make sure it's not broken in a way where it may puncture one of your lungs. I hope that you feel better!!

try to move your ribs and if you can't move it that mean that your ribs is broken .but if you can move it that mean that your ribs are not broken but if a few days later and your ribs doesn't hurt and when you touch it , it hurts that means that your ribs are bruise

Go a couple of rounds with Floyd Mayweather, to see if they are actually broken.
