I have pain in my rib area , what could it be?

Nonspecific: Depends where in the rib area you have pain. Also depends if pain is constant or only with deep breathing. Also does this occur at rest or with activity. Many causes of 'rib' pain. One needs to exclude life threatening issues first. If pain worse then always see your md.
