Bruised sternum?

I got in a fight and got slammed against a wall.  now my sternum has been hurting really bad right over my heart for the last 2 weeks.  it started feeling a little bit better but now its gone back to being bad again.  it hurts whenever i breathe.

I think I have bruised ribs or something.  i decided to ask dr. NS, anyone know what this is?  should I go to the dr. if it doesnt get better?  doesnt seem like they can do anything, but im getting a little tired of this.

mm thats sucks i bruised all my ribs on the right side and broke one, it was not fun, take care of those babies lol. best part is you cant do much for them. :(

just be happy you didnt break something else? i mean ive broke my pelvic bone before and i can say from experience it was much worse, sitting down was problem...
