Sprained rib muscle: You may have pulled a rib Ora muscle of chest wall, Try an Aleve (naproxen) twice a day with heat to hear wall, if not better on one week need a chest X Ray.

The Devil Be Grippin: Sure, I've got plenty of ideas. Maybe the toothpick you swallowed when you were three years old finally eroded into your lung. OK,OK, probably not. But I'll bet maybe you have an inflammation of the lining of your lung (the pleura) causing what's called "pleuritis,"and that can hurt real bad.But what caused it or what else it could be should be decided by a doctor.Try some Motrin and a heating pad
