Many possible Dx: To clarify, I assume you do not have pain when resting. But activities like walking, running, even lifting or carrying probably cause this discomfort/pain. Depending on how you walk and your usual activities, you could have musculoskeletal strain (most likely cause). Inflammation of the ribs (where muscles attach) is called costochondritis.
