A member asked:
Can fibrocystic breast cause rib pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: It may actually be a form of referred pain. The pain is actually in your breast, but it feels like the rib. I am assuming you were diagnosed with this condition by a physician. It is a good idea to get examined, other breast diseases, such as cancer, may cause pain.
