If your getting pain in your chest id get it looked at mate the higher the ribs damaged the more serious......you can crack even break lower ribs without it being particularly serious or painful but if your getting chest pains get an xray.....no need to be in pain needlessly these days.

keep as still as you can, I bust cracked mine near 10 years ago and still get bother sometimes. Hard to heal as your ribcage is always moving.

 

 

Spot on , i took a whack to the lower left ribs, a good feckin 10-15 years ago. And some times like you say , it still bit tender after all these years. :wallbash:

I sprained the joint between one of my ribs and my breast plate a few years ago, hurt like hell. Get it looked at, and keep taking full breaths, even though it might be uncomfortable. If you don't you might become susceptible to a chest infection, it's the reason why they don't bind fractured ribs any more.
