Don't press in!: Sorry, i couldn't resist. Seriously, go see your family doc. We can't (well, i can't) give you any helpful hints w/o more history & physical examination. Did you hurt yourself? Did someone abuse you? Have you been coughing lately? Perhaps it's not even your rib as it is something underneath. Bottom line, it's time to go see your doc to figure this out. But in the meantime, don't press in w/finger.
