long story short, some ****** punched me REALLY REALLY hard in my right chest.
it didn`t hurt at all right after, but started to hurt after like 2 days. it`s not any kind of muscle pain, i can see this little bump( about the size of an egg,) on top of my rib. i can see it only if i hold a deep breath in front of a mirror.

it doens`t hurt if i don`t move, but it hutrs whenever i breath hard/cough/snizze/lift heavy stuff or whenever put stress on it.
whole bunch of ppl told me that`s symptoms of cracked ribs

wondering what can i do to make it heal ASAP. (i work in a warehouse where i have to life heavy stuff all the time )
PS i have no $ to see anykinda of doctor.


Edit:
I just meet that **** who punched me earlier. His arm broke form punching me., he got fractured hand/wrist, it`s all swollen and looks really black/blue.
all of a sudden i am glad i that only cracked ONE rib

I believe that cracked ribs are a "suffer through it" kind of deal. You should at least get an X-Ray to make sure that they are not broken. Broken ribs can kill you by puncturing other organs.

Go to the doctor. If you don't have insurance, which would be really stupid btw, go to the place near you that they take ghetto people without insurance. there has to be somewhere to see a doctor free.

Cracked ribs are something that they can't do anything for. Just manage the pain with meds. They can't cast your chest or anything. You can try to wrap yourself if you have the supplies.

Go through the pain like a man! haha j/k

Get some pain meds for your pain. Make sure you take 10 deep breaths per waking hour. I know it hurts like shiet, but you need to otherwise you'll get pneumonia and get sick.
