i know this sounds stupid but i didn't have my seat belt on in my boyfriends car and he was going 20 mph and stopped suddenly and i slammed into the dash (im like 115lbs). Well now my rib on the right side hurts alot. It hurts alot when i laugh or take a deep breath or twist weird or lay down. Its not broken.. is it? Could it just be bruised? There isn't any bruising, it just kills, like a really sharp pain. I'm okay if im not moving around or breathing like deep.. what should i do and whats wrong?

You need to get checked out right away. Go to the hospital.

Sounds broken to me. I've had a broken rib and that's what it felt like. You need an x-ray or if you're not going to see a Dr. then wrap it with gause tape several times over and wait it out. You're young, it will probably heal fast.
