MSK-related? buut..: My first question would be how it started. Trauma related? If so imaging may be a good idea. If not, may be related to either muscle injury near ribs or inflammation of the cartilage near ribs. If this is case, most respond well to anti-inflammatory meds and time.If this issue persists despite conservative management, further work-up may be warranted. Rash or systemic symptoms may warrant work up.
