hello

about four weeks ago as getting out the water i felt a pain in my left rib muscle. There was no impact. Ive left it and not gone surfing until a few days ago. I could feel it a bit but not too bad but yesterday after going in it niggled a bit. its not too sore but i have a protrusion in my rib. its now a slightly dull pain and notice it more when getting out of bed etc

im travelling for a year and trying to surf as much as possible so a bit frustrating.

my main query is can i carry on going in as sometimes exercise seems to improve it. just dont understand why its not going away. my partner has also said they notice my shoulders are sloped and wondered if the injury could be due to this (slight scoliosis?)

ive also been taking anti inflammatories which help slightly

any advice would be gratefully received!
