Cracked ribs?

Fell over dog outside on the back porch about 2 weeks ago & hit a metal chair on the way down. I think I might have broken a rib or 2 but only been taking IBUPROFEN. STILL HURTS LIKE A MUG. GOING TO doctor NEXT week.

If deep breathing hurts then yes you probably have cracked ribs; there's no treatment; grin and bear it.
