Very painful. Seven fractured ribs in nine places was an experience wished not to have. You have trouble breathing without pain. Do not even laugh, it hurts so bad. There is nothing that can really be done for fractured ribs, so they take a lot of time to heal. The ribs are in an area that protect vital and sensitive organs. As stated above the lungs are one such area that the ribs protect.

This would of course cause even further pain to exist.
