See doctor: If pain can be definitely localized to ribs themselves, then trauma or sometime inflammation are usually the etiologies. If exercising or having repeated trauma to the area can injure ribs. The usual solution is to stop if possible the source of trauma.If no trauma, you should seek combination of physician and some imaging may be required for more specific source of the problem. And its treatment.
