I studied your query in depth and understood your concerns .

Causes for pain in ribs when touched are as follows-
a-Mostly they are -Bronchitis with pleuritis ? or with intercostal rib entrapment ? or could be Shingles-with Herpes zoster post-bronchitis.
I would advise Xray Chest to rule out any pneumonia and consultation with Thorasic-Physician and Surgeon .
Don't worry of them,as they could be relieved with proper treatment.
