Answers:
Bruised or cracked. won't make a difference in the treatment or healing time.

Just DON'T SNEEZE (personal experience).

You wally! :)

The fact that there is a small spot whenever you touch it causing really bad pain is suggestive of cracked ribs

The rest of it is either a torn muscle or a bruise.

You should take some pain relief if the pain is bad enough. (paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen if you are not allergic)

See a doctor if you think it is inhibiting your breathing.

Go to the doctor and they'll tell you exactly what is wrong. I wouldn't know what it feels like to break anything. I don't play safe or stay inside, i just haven't broken anything. But i have accidently cut myself a lot. Very irrelevant.

Jason, go to the E.R. tonight or tommorow..Get an x-ray,this is a painfull injury that will not heal on its on..Get medical attention asap...
