A member asked:
When i have a deep breathe have pain in thoracic spine at back and ribs.what could be problem . i have pain in same area if i bend forward or back ?

Sounds like: A muscle spasm in the back muscles. There are a lot of different muscles in the back in that area that can go into spasm. This can even last for weeks. Stretching, and anti-inflammatory medication would be beneficial. If there is no improvement or worsening see your doctor.
