Def not that bad, but it hurts constantly day and night for the last 5 days.

That's more what I feel. Should I call the doc? Or do I just need time to heal?

you need to go to the doc and get that checked, could be a pretty bad infection in there too

This is one of those questions that has an automatic yes.

Should I go to the doctor? Yes.

Is it broken? Maybe, or maybe not. Probably strained or bruised. Definitely possible. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Constant pain is certainly a reason to go to a medical professional. What helps... take an ACE bandage and tightly wrap your rib cage slightly above and below where it hurts.

Heal well and feel better!!
