I got bear hugged really hard twice 2 days ago and now today i have really tender and painful pain on my lower left side bottom of rib and stomach?

Rib injury: Hard hugs can bruise or fracture ribs. If you're having severe pain and rib cage tenderness, I recommend rib xrays so you'll know how long healing may take. There is no specific treatment for either injury but duration is weeks for rib fractures. Hold onto your ribs when you have to cough or take a deep breath. We no longer strap rib cages when injured as pneumonia is a possible complication.
