Fractured rib: Obviously, first thing is to rule out a rib fracture or inter-costal ligament tear or strain. U will need an exam and at least an x-ray. Of course, other conditions such as intestinal or kidney problems could produce these symptoms, so consider them all and go find out for proper treatment.
