Anyone ever broke or fractured a rib?
 

I think i may have broken or fractured a rib on my right side, stupid z trans kind fell on my chest and im too poor for a trans lift. It hurts from the middle of my chest to my spine and when i move my right arm around it hurts. Taking deep breaths cause pain aswell.

Sounds about right.

Doesn't sound like the rib is floating, meaning it's broken clean through and has jagged edges tearing at the adjacent tissue. Hard to do that without really noticing it. Poke at it a bit to see if you can feel a break, and take a good look at your chest in a bathroom mirror. If it's just a bad crack my $0.02 is to save a few bucks and don't go to a doctor just chew some painkillers and bind up your chest.

They take a while to heal unless you are real careful for a while about lifting and stuff.

why cant you take pain pills, if it really starts to hurt go to doctor and tell them you want perkacets, take 2 and you feel the best youve every felt.
