What Could Painful Ribs While Breathing Suggest?

Laparoscopy three days ago. I understand the CO2 being trapped, however when I take a deep breath, I have severe pain in right lower rib area and chest area. I have to hold my ribs to cough and when I do I feel something like a popping in that area of the ribs.I feel as though I cannot get a full breath.
