Dude, seriously? I don't have the money for x-rays. What's the difference? My right side is swolen maybe an inch or so thick, but there's no signs of bruising on the skin (broken blood vessels). It hurts move. It hurts to fvcking breathe. A laugh is usually followed by a whince very quickly after. Sneezing (i have allergies) makes my life hell.

If I move just right, I can feel the rib almost move in and out of place.
How can I tell the difference?
