Bruised, cracked, or fractured rib,
Costochondritis (inflammation of cartilage near the breastbone),
Osteoporosis,
Pleurisy (the pain is worse when breathing deeply)

Natural muscle relaxers because they contain magnisium and potassium are bananas or a couple of swigs of molasses.

Drink non sugar liquids (your weight divided by 2 times ounces) daily - sugar increases pain (not to mention weight).
