5 days ago my left rib was just sore to the touch. Now 5 days later I am in extreme pain when I breath deep, cough, twist my body, and just touch my rib. The pain is under my arm closer to the bottom of the rib cage. I haven't done anything to fracture or brack my rib. Can anyone help. Thinking about going to the ER. Can anyone help? I've been reading about painful rib syndrome. The is no cause.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
You need to go to the ER now.
Never be afraid to try, remember...
I would definitely see if you can get yourself to a doctor. If not, then the ER might be a good idea. If you are in that much pain and you have no idea why this is happening, it's a good idea to find out what the problem is. Good luck and feel well.
Go ASAP to the ER or see a doctor. You might have a cracked rib.
