Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the ribs could be due to an injury to the ribs or a muscle injury. In both the cases, you need to have rest, use a chest belt of appropriate size for relief.
Taking mild pain killers will also be of help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
