Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to repetitive stress injury. A local examination by orthopedician and X ray of affected area if needed should be done to rule out any injury to ribs. Ice pack application and taking pain medications like paracetamol will be helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
