Yes, you could have cracked a rib but without an x-ray there is no way to know for certain. If you have any questions about something like that you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Whether a rib is cracked or not, the treatment is to just let it heal. If the rib is out of place, at the costosternal joint or the costovertebral joint, a chiropractor can reallign the joint to reduce any stress or tension in the area. This can make a tremendous difference in your ability to have regular mobility again.
