Rib dysfunction?: Sounds like the common presentation for a rib dysfunction, ie the rib gets 'knocked out of whack'. This problem often presents with pain (often sharp or severely achy & worse with deep inhalation or exhalation.) it's easily treatable by osteopathic manipulation, if it is the cause. A proper history & physical exam, including an osteopathic hands-on exam might be able to determine the exact cause.

Sprain: It sounds like a sprain. Be sure to practice range of motion, and see your doctor if the pain intensifies, especially after more than 3 days.
