A member asked:

Can intercostal muscles cause rib pain and discomfort in the chest. been off going on 4mths. my job consists of twisting and very heavy lifting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Although no one can tell without a physical exam, this can certainly happen, and can definitely cause pain. If you can reproduce the pain by pressing on/between your ribs, that would make that a more likely diagnosis.
