Only sure way to tell if they are broken or bruised is that it will hurt if you take a deep breath, cough, sneeze or laugh or try to get into or out of bed.
Another way would be go and get an xray. But, even if you do find out they are broken or what ever, there is nothing they can do for you except give you pain meds. I know.
Rest for 6 weeks and it'll get better

Xray is the one definitive approach to inform if a rib is fractured (damaged). If it's, there's quite often not anything to do however anguish manage. More importantly, you have been hit within the head through a monkey wrench? Get to an ER and feature them determine you out.
