A member asked:

My spine hurts when i breathe deeply? only on the mid left in one spot

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mid back pain: The pain you describe is where the rib head inserts on the spine. The rib head may have become inflamed or malpositioned. See a back specialist or a chiropractor to evaluate and treat the problem.
