Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Possible cause in your case would be muscle sprain - abdominal muscles attached to ribs having gone through unusual movements.

I would start mild painkillers and muscle relaxants for a few days and assess for weakness in the bones.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel,
