What Could Be The Reason For Sharp Pains In Left Ribcage?

I have been having very sharp shooting pains in my left side ribcage for about 4 days now with no signs of getting better. Thought it may be due to shoveling snow and pulled something but since it hasn t seemed to be subsiding I thought maybe I should check it out?
