Rib pain: It is possible that he broke a rib. This is not uncommon but he should have evaluated it and treat you for it. Ignoring it does not mean it didn't happen. An X-ray would have been appropriate. Usually just painful for several weeks then it starts to improve. Limit lifting and other activities that make it hurt. Watch for any shortness of breath.
