Hi,
Most probably it is muscular pain,But I would also suggest to get chest xray done to rule out any rib injury.For pain you may use ibugesic gel and ibugesic pain killer tablet,as if it is muscular pain ,it should relieve with simple pain killers.Otherwise you may need to be checked by nearby orthopaedic doctor and discuss further.
