Was assaulted and kicked in the right of my ribs, on my backside. it's been really painful to laugh, cough, move, really anything that requires moving?

broken rib: The symptoms you describe sounds like you have a broken rib. You should have an x-ray taken to confirm. Unfortunately, there is not a lot that can be done for a simple rib fracture except to wrap it tightly. It usually takes about six weeks to heal completely. Talk to your primary care doctor for an appropriate referral.
