Fell down concrete step, landed on right rib breast area knocking the breath out of me. Pain diminished a little after first two days. It s still somewhat painful after one week.

hi
pain may remain for long time
due to constant movement during breath,healing delay
if ur rib cracked,u need not to worry as it repair its own
avoid exercise and heavy work
better to do a x ray and consult doctor
