Broken bones should not affect progression. It's not hard to fracture a rib if you fall awkwardly.
You are more likely to fracture if you are ominous and the immobility causes a loss of calcium in your bones, but that won't be the case if you are still walking about.
Sorry about the ribs, apparently they hurt!
