Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Rib Injury

I slipped and fell on a ceramic tile floor 4 weeks ago. the majority of my body came down on my right rib cage. Now it hurts to go from a sitting position to standing, sneeze and sleep on my right side. The area on my side is tender to the touch. I was was diagnosed with a fatty liver in 09/2014. Shouldn t I be getting better than worse?
