Some options: You could be correct but there can be other causes such as a nerve irritation or compression, a muscle spasm or contraction, a rib costochondral inflammation. If you feel well otherwise, look at your posture and how you move or lift, try an anti-inflammatory medication (like Advil or Motrin), use moist heat in the area, if not better or other symptoms, check with your doctor.
