Possible sprain: There are muscles between the ribs which actually can be sprained, but there are a variety of other problems which could cause this sort of pain, from inflammation of the covering of the lungs (pleurisy) to pneumonia or even more unlikely clots in the lung. If the problem persists, or you have any problems breathing, you should see your primary care provider.
