My lower ribcage is bruising and it burns really bad. i felt a pop when i hurt it. my ribcage also feels tender. any ideas on what this could be?

Exam needed: Possibilities include rib contusion, rib fracture or separation. I recommend that you be examined by your physician or at the hospital emergency room. Rib xrays may be ordered. In the meantime apply cold intermittently.
