Yes...but he would also check you to make sure there was no bleeding...chipping...poking and damage to your internal organs. I would say you should go to the doctors.

Hope this helps.

there is a big chance that it'll affect your internal organs, and may cause some abnormalities like swollen parts of it, since that is not how it has to be or was designed... have you been examined thru x-ray? better go to your physician, and have it be fixed... lol! hope you get well real soon...

Yes it could damege you internally. The ribcage isn't connected to anything, yet somehow it floats in place. If you don't take it to a doc then it could heal up badly and quite possibly, although very unlikely, kill you should you have another accident.
(The chances of you getting killed are slim but still there.)
Go see a doctor and get medical attention.

mate... DEFINITLY go to the doctors, this is me being a real hypocrit as I never do go for anything... when I got my ribs moved out of place in a fight I DIDN'T go to see my doc, and it has done a lot in the meens of slowing me down whilst doing things... your ribs could be sharp and jagged, which could burst any of your organs. mate.. go and see your doc. happy
