Likely seriously bruised... Cracked is a possibility but I don't think you would be walking after.

You definitely could have broke them. I broke my ribs (confirmed months later by a doctor and x-rays) on a c-rail a few years and had no idea, it kinda hurt to breathe and what not but it wasn't excruciating or anything. They ended up healing weird so there is a bump that sticks out of my chest. Broken ribs really aren't a biggie and the doc cant do much for them anyway, unless you punctured a lung or something, which you would know of I hope.

i know someone who broke a rib, his backpack got cought on a lift and like he fell when getting off weirdly... pretty sad way to do it

anyway, it was really hurting him, but he was able to ski and do other things for a while, but it was still broken, so a lot of pain but still being able to do thing, you should probably see a doctor

i broke 3 ribs, my collar bone, separated my shoulder and got a concussion from falling on my long board and i could definaly walk.  i fractured my shin on a rail and was walking around too.  there have also been several times where i have just bruised shit and it was hard to walk.  the only way to really tell is to get x rays

i broke a rib and didn't have trouble breathing, so it could be. if you're breathing is okay but it hurts like a motherfucker, it is either 1)bruised badly OR 2)a broken lower rib (lower ones don't affect breathing as much)

mine was a lower rib, so i was lucky in that it didn't affect my breathing. i also think mine was relatively minor, it didn't take me long to get back on my skateboard

honestly.. same exact thing happened to me.. except mine was more like 3-4 weeks ago..
i asked my mom to check it out (she's an x-ray technician.. she knows her stuff) and she said it was most likely broken. unfortunately.. there's nothing to do about it besides suck it up and deal with it

he didn't say this, but he skied 3 days after he hurt them. and dirty im sure you just cracked or bruised them.  if you want ask my dad...doctor...and also why didn't you just ask me about this?  I cracked my ribs back when i was 12 and i know what its like, im guessing that's what you did.  It heals up within a month or so.
