Is my sternum bruised or fractured??

Answered by a doctor

The other day I fell off a dirt bike and landed with my chest on the handle of the dislike. It immediately hurt. I slept it off but kept waking up in pain if I lay on either side. It is bruised and now hurts to walk laugh breathe jump or move my arms. Is it just bruised or fractured?
