A member asked:
When laying on my stomach, i have a mild burning/pain in my ribs below my pectorals. it does not hurt when standing. possible muscle strain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: Either muscular in origin or possibly costochondritis ( inflammation where the rib attaches to the breast bone). Do u sleep w/ur arms out to the side and hands over head? If so, favor muscular.
