My rib, just below my breast, aches (esp. when I breathe in & out)...I need help!


Question: My rib, just below my breast, aches (esp!. when I breathe in & out)!.!.!.I need help!.!?
A while back, I fractured my rib or pulled the muscles in or around it!.!.

I have the same pain, which started a week ago!. I think it's due to over-exertion!. However, I can't exercise because it hurts when I breathe heavily!.

Just to give you an idea of where the pain is located: slightly below my right breast!.

What can I do to alleviate the pain and/or make it dissipate!?

I know you may not be a doctor !.!. but help from someone who has experienced this, would be greatly appreciated! Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
try taking Ibuprofen every 4 hours to ease the pain, sounds like pleurisy!. If not better in 24 hours then see a docWww@Answer-Health@Com
