Strain/sprain.: Sounds like you pulled a muscle. Ice on for 30 minutes, off for an hour, & repeat until 8 hours after injury, and then as needed for comfort.. I think ibuprofen should be avoided for 72 hours, to minimize bleeding at injury site. Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain relief for 1st 72 hours, rest. If the pain is severe or constant, could be rib fracture, so see doc, in that case. If not follow-up 7 days. Did you win?
