Could be rib: Dysfunction, due to slight dislocation or slippage. This causes intercostal (between ribs) muscle pain and nerve irritation. Or it could be something else. You can read more about it here. http://www.basicspine.com/conditions-procedures/pain-management/slipped-rib-syndrome.html if it doesn't go away, see a doctor.
