Many possibilities: Ribs may hurt for many reasons, such as trauma (bumped into something, somebody poked a finger into the ribs), coughing (bad cold and cough symptoms), jogging or running (breathing heavily for a while), weight training or sit-ups (over-exertion while exercising); irritation in the rib's bones, muscles, cartilage, linings; a tumor (rare), etc... One's doctor can do a in-person evaluation.
