if you CANNOT stand or sit without it hurting.... yep it's a break. no amount of aspirin (this side of suicide) is going to help. you can try your "friends pill" that will take al pain away, but if you still get up ( which you will) after it's worn off and you discover your f$#%# up....well son, it's broke. Go see a doctor.
