Increasing rib pain - should i go to the er? i was dx'd with two broken ribs the other day. it's 2x worse now and it's hard 2 breathe? i leaned on it.

Go to ED.: First, to make sure there were not more than just the two fractures, and second to make sure you have not developed a traumatic pneumothorax because of the rib fractures. Good to be certain.
