A member asked:
Lately my ribs have been hurting when i push down on them. and a lot of chest pain. the doctor said it could be my muscles. can this be why?

Take NSAIDS like ---: Like aleve (naproxen) or Ibuprofen ( if no allergies/side effects) with a muscle relaxer + heat packs, to see if its relieved. I am unsure if your doc has done any testing or not, but you are on the right way of seeing him. Good luck.
