lol i was about to say pleurisy but if a docter ruled it out then maybe its the lymphnodes are swollen and causing pressure in the ribs but she really needs to see a docter asap but if a doc didn't rule out pleurisy i can tell you from personal experience that it sucks to have and wait to go to a doc about

Your speaking about a pain in the rib, what has she been doing lately? If you ruled out pleurisy, who ruled this out and what's their knowledge to do this? This is what I'd say it is.
If you don't think so is the actual rib bruised? or blue like it's damaged? maybe a cracked rib.
I would suggest a doctor, it could be serious you never know about these things. X-Rays should be taken to make sure of this. Go see your doctor or the nearest ER.
