Turns out it was a mis-aligned rib. I saw the physical therapist this morning and he popped it back in place but it's only a short term fix. A few specific exercises to strenghten the muscles and some stretched to bring my spine back into allignment along with proper posture should help long term. Thanks again for the answers; hopefully I'll be good to go by the time hiking season comes back
