Rib fracture: A rib can fracture from a simple sudden cough or sneeze especially in people with thin bone structures. Obviously brute force such as with a strong punch, hug or fall has broken many a rib. Often there is as much pain from a bruised rib as with a cracked rib except that the latter takes longer to heal.
