There are a lot of muscles that attach near the lower left rib. Most likely you have pulled a muscle. Sometimes you can get pain in that area from gas in the stomach. If the pain is less with rest and more when using the muscles then it is likely muscle pain. Stomach gas varies in the day but can be there still with rest. It is very unlikely to be a rib fracture and treatment would be rest.
