Hello,
It could be due to conditions like costochondritis. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Surgical correction is the last resort and as of now, we can go for conservative measures.
Consult a physician in case symptoms persists.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
