Could have cracked : I hope you did not crack one of your ribs. Usually a broken rib causes much pain on taking a deep breath or if you try to cough. You should see your doctor to confirm it one way ot the other..May need to take an xray to check it out. Also take pain medicine to relieve your pain. But a vsit with your doctor may be most useful.
