If you broke ribs, you wouldn't be skiig. I have broken them before and wanted to cry just getting out of bed. Its so painful. If you cracked them if I were you lay REAL LOW for about a week and a half, like totally calm, heat on, then off, then on, with IBprofen, and do nothing. If you truly cr4acked your ribs your out for about 3 weeks, then they will still be sore.
If you break ribs you are out for 6 weeks, anything past carving
