Answers:
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.

Could be a cracked rib or a torn intracostal muscle.if you really want to know, or need something for pain, go get an xray.there isn't much to be done for a broken rib..sometimes you get taped up, sometimes just the pain meds.

yes sounds like you have to me, I suggest a visit to your doctor is in order, they will give you some pain killers to help with the pain.

Go get some xrays done, sounds like you have something there and see the severity of it.

go see a doctor.it might be serious

Hey, we are not doctors and only doctors can diagnose with seeing a patient in person.

Get your butt and ribs to a doctor for a complete physical.nerve and muscle plus other damage is real...are you kidding here by asking for a "word description diagnosis"?
