Is it possible to tell the difference from a bruised rib and just muscle soreness? I took a hard fall skateboarding the other day with my elbow and upper arm jamming into my ribs. At first I thought I had just knocked the wind out of me and just injured some soft tissue, but now the pain is more intense, especially when i bend at the waist and when i take deep breaths or cough. The pain is located on the side of my right ribs, slightly in the front and back sections. I have not taking any precautions so far, such as icing the area down, and i work as a cook, so i have not been able to rest much. Am i looking at some pretty bad pain for the next few weeks?
