Sharp pain on the upper left area of the chest, also with hardening of the rib cage. hurts when i press or move arm or even when doing nothing.

Musculoskeletal: this sounds like muscular pain, try applying warm compressors and see if it helps and an ibuprofen or Tylenol (acetaminophen) should ease the pain, it should subside on its own with time.
