Awful sharp pain lower right ribs. lasted 2 mins. hurt to move/breathe way worse than when had spontan pneumomed but gone so fast... what was this?

C ostepathic doctor: If your ribs hurt when moving, or breathing, you could have either a muscular spasm involving the rib, inflammation present, or something internal going on. Best to see an osteopathic doctor, who can do a complete musculoskeletal exam, of your neck, back, hips, extremities, pelvis, sacrum and ribs, and assess what's going on more precisely.S/he can also treat you to alleviate the pain without meds.
