Could Pain In Breast Bone With On And Off Jolts With History Of Multiple Broken Ribs Be Concerning?

I broke a few ribs the 1st of this year, or atleast I think I did I have a very high tolerance for pain I mean ive been hit by a car an got up an walked away why the owner had to call a tow, ive had bones set that made men cry an did not even bat an eye, but getting back on topic now, I think I broke a few ribs on my left side but now my brest bone seems off set an starting to hurt, should I be worried about long term damage, it sets more to the left an not centered like I think it should be an when I make some movments it really hurts an sends a jolt throw my whole body like somethings not right an my bodys trying to warn me.

if you broke more than one rib the condition is called flail rib which means ribs can puncture your pleura ( lungs ) , i recommend immediate x ray and take it seriously , untill then use a wide strap all around your trunk and try to avoid sudden movement sleeping and sitting

Good Luck
