It sounds like a bruise or fracture, I would check with a physician
though when you feel up to it.

if it gets worse, get an x-ray. when i broke mine (coughing!), i
had to wear an elastic splint for quite some time while it
healed. it did help the pain, by stabilising it.
good luck with it.

The chances are you bruised a rib. A broken rib would leave you unable to
function for some time, well not without experiencing horrendous pain anyway.
Even with a bruised rib you need to take it easy. Avoid carrying anything
heavy for any distance, avoid lifting above elbow height, and take some anti
inflammatories and some pain killers too. Apply an ibuprofen gel to the area
and a heat patch. And you have my sympathies, I've broken my ribs in the
past and I'm forever injuring myself. If the pain gets any worse, go see your
doctor immediately, they'll x-ray you for signs of complications. The main
thing is rest rest rest.
