A member asked:

I have a swollen rib cus i pulled a muscle excersising can the pain go to my back & also my lower abdomen ? (:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Pulled muscles in the chest wall are connected to the muscles in abdomen and upper back so it not unusual to get pain in other areas of upper back and abdomen. I hope that helps good luck.
