Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since, how many ribs , having fracture , you have not mentioned.
#7 ribs ( seventh or seven ribs).
You might got laceration or perforation in pleurae or in lung tissue.
Old hematoma due to trauma may be the reason of excruciating pain.
Physical examination by orthopaedician/physician will reveal the exact nature of depth of injury.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
