Hit my ribs into a table and the pain is getting worse after weeks?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all, I accidentally went into a table and hit up my ribs badly when I was drinking alcohol. (I sure feel like an idiot now) but anyway, its been almost two weeks and the pain is not getting better, but is getting worse. It hurts when I take a deep breath, raise my arms, even getting out of bed and moving around in bed is very uncomfortable. The worst has to be when I sneeze though. I have also noticed my shoulder not feeling 100% but that could be due to other factors. Have I left it long enough to warrant getting it checked out and perhaps x rayed? I would say the pain is like a stabbing pain and feels more internal than external. There is no bruise or discoloration on the skin. Any advise would be appreciated greatly, thanks
