I slipped and fell onto my ribs 10 days ago, they hurt pretty badly when I did it then they started to get a bit better, however the pain is now in the the back all the time and the front when I breath, sneeze, laught etc and a mild ache all the time.

I think I may have cracked my ribs before as I couldn't breath properly for 3 months after falling on them in a bike crash and they left a pain in my back then, the new back pain is in the same place as before, is there anything a doctor can do or will they just advise leaving it for a bit? Whats the best pain killer I can get for them?
