Done a rib/maybe a muscle under my rib when squatting

This wasnt even on my heavy set of squats it was at the end of my workout and i was squatting 80 kilos to see how many reps i could do i was upto my 23 rep i think and when i went down i suddenly felt a sharp pain in my lower right rib so i stopped , Im not sure if it is the rib or a muscle slightly under/behind the rib. It doesnt hurt now at all unless i put pressure on it or have a big stretch, however i havent trained in 1 week . Anyone else experienced this, if so what did you do
 
Can't do much around the rib area. Rest it up, and see how you go over the next week. Doesn't sound overly serious. I wouldn't be squatting or doing anything strenuous just yet. Hard to e-diagnose.

Edit: At a guess, most likely a muscle related issue (intercostal) in which case you can't do much about it apart from rest.
