What do you suggest if my ribs hurt when i touch them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myofascial: Assuming you have not been exposed to trauma (sports? fall? auto accident? abuse?), you have a myofascial syndrome - try an analgesic like ibuprofen or naproxen. Heat. Rest. Time. Massage. If no improvement after a week: x-rays.
