Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This can be a costo-chondritis and needs X-ray or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. A 7 day course of an anti-inflammatory medicines and steroids should help her. The pain going into the stomach area is due to the subcostal nerve getting inflamed and gives a referred pain. Nothing much to worry about it.
