What is causing my reoccuring short rib pains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perbhaps posture: The shor ribs are floating ribs. They are moe prominent and expecially in women. Depending on your activities, you are pehaps stressing these ribs. Bending over to study, read or work at a desk can exacerbate this. Try some anti-inflammatories and ice or heat and rest. If recurrent and of concern, see your pcp and get checked out.
