Joint pain: There are multiple points where the front of ribs join the breast bone. With this type of trauma you can develop pain in these joints ir the breast bone itself could become cracked. Either would cause pain that could increase with movement or breathing. Local application of cold may help reduce pain as would meds like ibuprofen. Pain should subside in a few days. I doubt you need x-rays.
