Ribs are sore: Would consider costrochondritis, whic responds to motrin like drugs if not allergic, or infection-though usually have other symptoms , alternatively may be gallbladder if on right, or if on birth control pils may be clot .Due to risks associated wiht clot woudl seek medical attention ER/ urgent care today
