You should go to the doctors and get them x-rayed. It might mean that you broke a rib, or if not you might have damaged it. It is better safe then sorry. If you didn't do something to your actual rib then you might have some sort of internal damage. Where you in some kind of accident? You also might have some kind of internal organ failure.

An arm sling is not typically used for bruised ribs, as it is designed to support and immobilize the arm and shoulder. Bruised ribs generally require rest, ice, and pain management rather than immobilization of the arm. It's best to follow your healthcare provider's advice for treating bruised ribs, which may include avoiding activities that worsen the pain and using over-the-counter pain relievers. If you have concerns about your injuries, consult a medical professional for appropriate care.
Take OTC pain meds, if you need them. Stay as mobile as you can w/o the rib troubling you - and wait. Bruised ribs will sort themselves out just in time like any other bruise.
