You need to be examined. There are too many choices as to what is causing this.

Hello and thanks for sharing your rib concern with the FATD community. Allow me to offer my tips, thoughts and suggestions. Obtaining a thorough history is an important process when it comes to offering opinions about pain or loss of function. I did not read about the how this pain may have begun. Perhaps you worked your arms and upper body recently? Slept poorly or in a new/different bed? I wonder how your shoulders and neck are feeling, and what makes these upper rib pains worse. I believe in rest and some medication (Tylenol or Advil/Aleve depending on your medical conditions and what your doctor thinks). Warmth in the morning (like a warm shower) with gentle stretching of the arms, upper body and neck may help the pains subside. If the pains get worse over the next 5-7 days, it is worth having your pain looked at by your primary care doctor or a rehabilitation specialist. I hope this helps.
