Not serious: The symptom doesn't suggest a serious problem. Possibly a slight chest wall strain or minor irritation. If you have no other medical problems, an OTC analgesic like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Aleve will help. As always, if the pain persists for a number of weeks you should follow up with your physician for a more specific diagnosis.
