Rib pain : Rib pain worse when walking/running is consistent with muscle pain. It can be secondary to spinal or postural related issues such as scoliosis, pelvic obliquity, or relative leg length inequality. I suggest asking your primary care doctor to evaluate you first then a chiropractor or physical therapist
