Not sure if I broke my rib in the past
About a year ago I fell off a horse and I think I broke my rib. I can't remember everything that caused my pain. But it did take me a long time to get up the stairs because I breathed slightly heavier going up and that caused a lot of pain. Now my ribs hurt when I lay on my stomach or slouch too long. It's heeled now and they're kind of in a lump.
