Chest pain: You may have cracked or fractured a rib. A visit to the ER is in order to get an xray to rule out a rib problem

A couple weeks ago my husband starting having a pain in the front of his ribs, top left side. Progressively over the past 3 weeks the pain has gotten worse and has now wrapped around to his back.
