What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Rib Cage After Lifting Weight?

I lifted a sewing machine 3 months ago. I got a muscle pain and severe burning on my left side on the outside of my rib cage. It continues to swell and cause a tightness around my upper abdomen. Could I have ruptured something and how to treat this pain.
