A member asked:
I feel a stabbing pain in my left rib andi've had this after i had gone on for a walk in the cold weather yesterday. can cold air get trapped?

No: no cold air does not get trapped but cold air could heart lung tissues and cause bronchitis and pneumonia and cold air can affect the ribs and cause inflammation in the cartilage part and or a muscle spasm in the muscle between that cause a lot of pain if you become SOB short of breath go to the ER or see a doctor

No: It may become trapped under your jacket but not by your body. You may not have recovered from it yet. A,l the best.
