pain under rib

Hi.  About three years ago I thought I cracked a rib (whilst exerting pressure on a drill) and went to the doctor.  I described what it felt like and doc confirmed a cracked rib.  However three years down the line I still get very sharp pains in the lower rib area, and in fact that side is now larger than the right.  About a year after the initial visit to the doc I went back and told the doc I did not think it a cracked rib but he said not to worry.  Sometimes it is constantly sore, other time just frequent sharp pains.  It is not sore to the touch. Does anyone know what it could be?
