How Can severe Sharp Rib Cage Pain be Treated?

i am having pain in my left rib cage area, it has been hurting for about a week. it s a sharp pain and it wraps around to my back. my small abdomine is hurting as well. i went to the doctors and they said i might have just pulled a musle. my right rib is starting to hurt now. i have an appointment tomorrow but if you can tell me what it might be before that would be helpful.
