Hi welcome to health care magic...
Here according to history mostly you are having costochondritis or musculoskeletal pain...
Local part x ray has to be taken to look for any rib fracture or internal damage..
Meanwhile take ibuprofen 200 mg BD for five days.
Avoid strenous work..
Heavy weight lifting avoided ..
Avoid movement that causing pain...
Take rest and sleep in proper posture.
