Occasionally ribs hurt in young males . It is called costochondritis. Nothing to worry apply some pain killer gel over the site it is bound to decrease. If it persists then you have to get a Chest Xray. Regarding your abnormal lab parameter....please be more specific regarding which parameter is abnormal. Usually abnormal parameters in young patients is lab error, repeat the same test in some standard lab and if it is still abnormal then u need to worry.
