You should go to the doctors and get them x-rayed. It might mean that you broke a rib, or if not you might have damaged it. It is better safe then sorry. If you didn't do something to your actual rib then you might have some sort of internal damage. Where you in some kind of accident? You also might have some kind of internal organ failure.

It is also possible that you have just strained yourself or have a virus causing intercostal neuralgia. However if you are worried go and see a doctor.

What causes soreness in the ribs and is tender when pressing?

Maybe you have a bruised rib. These take a while to heal, but eventually will. If the pain worsens, I suggest seeing a doctor. It could be soemthing deeper than the rib.

How painful would 6 fractured ribs be?

Very painful. Seven fractured ribs in nine places was an experience wished not to have. You have trouble breathing without pain. Do not even laugh, it hurts so bad. There is nothing that can really be done for fractured ribs, so they take a lot of time to heal. The ribs are in an area that protect vital and sensitive organs. As stated above the lungs are one such area that the ribs protect. The ribs being broken alone can cause a great deal of pain but there is always the question of whether anything had been bruised or if there was any damage to any of the areas that the ribs protect. This would of course cause even further pain to exist.
