Rib pain: This may just be rib tenderness. Sometimes it is difficult to relate to any specific injury or incident. It may be as simple as a cough or sneeze or carrying something heavy and putting pressure on the area. Should be self limiting, but If it continues it would be best to see PCP for an X-ray to rule out an occult cause. Good luck!

Evaluation: You should see your doctor to be evaluated and have chest X ray to find the cause and to be treated.
