Possible rib fractur: You may have broken your rib. This will take 6 weeks to get better. You nay have ruptured a disc in the thoracic spine. The pain is referred.

Rib fracture: What you describe is pretty typical of a rib fracture from heavy lifting. The pain is usually in one spot and is aggravated by twisting and breathing. It will heal on its own in about 6 weeks.
