asked

I'm 40 years old and injured my rib 10 days ago while wrestling with my son. The pain has been persistent and has worsened, moving to a different location. I suspect a cracked rib, but how can I be sure without an x-ray, given my high deductible? Are there ways to distinguish between a cracked rib and costochondritis based on symptoms, and what treatment options are available for each condition?
