Tender Rib syndrome.: If you can touch the area and it is tender than that is maybe a rib joint that is inflamed. This pain can go one for a long time causing lots of confusion. Since it is on the side of the heart=people think. Heating pad, advil (ibuprofen) and stretching that side of the body to separate those rib muscles, lateral muscles and back muscles and the movement will help the curing process. see Costochondritis.
