Rib cage: Sharp posterior rib cage pain can be due to rib injury, pinched nerve between two ribs, pleurisy or lung inflammation especially if worsened by deep breath and cough. Pneumothorax or pulmonary embolism are accompanied by shortness of breath. See your physician if symptoms persist and appropriate tests and xrays will be ordered.

See MD: See a doctor. This could be many things, including an ulcer, pancreatitis, food sensitivity, gastritis, or something else. A doctor will help you figure it out.

Question 10

i have a dull pain at the point where my rib cage joins (i.e. above my stomach) that intensifies after eating. the pain came a few days ago suddenly.

Accepted Answer

Will be nice: To have more information and associated symptoms like any nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, burning sensation, heart burn, worse with fatty foods or spicy foods etc. That's the importance of a history and physical. But, after eating abdominal pain points toward gallbladder disease like cholecystitis and gastritis and gastric ulcer disease. Do not take any Ibuprofen like medicines. See a physician soon.
