Understanding Rib Pain

What is Rib Pain?

Rib pain refers to discomfort or soreness in the chest or ribcage area. This pain can be sharp, dull, or aching and may worsen with deep breathing, coughing, or twisting movements. Rib pain can originate from the bones, muscles, or surrounding tissues.

Common symptoms of rib pain include:

  • Tenderness in the rib area.
  • Pain during deep breathing or sneezing.
  • Radiating pain to the back or shoulders.
  • Difficulty with physical activities.

Causes of Rib Pain

Rib pain can stem from a variety of causes, including:

Injuries
  • Fractures or bruising: Trauma from accidents or falls can lead to rib fractures or bruising.
  • Muscle strain: Overuse or sudden twisting movements may strain the intercostal muscles.
Postural Issues
  • Poor posture or sitting for extended periods can put undue stress on the ribcage and surrounding muscles.
Costochondritis
  • Inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone leads to localised pain.
Respiratory Conditions
  • Coughing associated with asthma or bronchitis can strain the rib muscles.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
  • Compression of nerves or blood vessels near the ribs can cause pain and tingling.
Other Medical Conditions
  • Fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, or arthritis can also contribute to rib discomfort.
