Cracked rib?

  1. So Ive had a REALLY bad cough for over 3 weeks now (been to the doc, he says coughs from colds can last up to 4 weeks...) But in the last day or two one spot on my ribs REALLY hurts, like when I breath in, cough, or... move at all... It feels like its cracked or something but I wouldn't know, haven't ever had a cracked rib... Also I don't know how it could have happened unless violent coughing can crack a rib?
     
  2. Perhaps a lung has swelled and is pressing against a slightly indented rib while coughing?
