Pain In Elbows, Ribs After Hitting A Claypot. Hurts To Breathe. Suggestions?

I fell2 weeks ago and my ribs hit and broke and clay pot. My elbow still hurts when my arm is extended and when I turn my arm. But today my side/ribs hurt when I take a deep breathe and some times when just breathing I have an ice pack on that side, but sometimes I feel a stinging kind of pain. I had X-rays done at the hospitabut that was 2 weeks ago. What kind of doctor would treat this. I was not seen by a doctor,just X-rayed.

Hi,
You might have consulted doctor at the time of injury.
It seems that you might got few minor fractures of ribs and some injury on elbow joint.
Now consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
X-ray elbow and chest will give some conclusion about your problem.
Ok and take care.
