A member asked:

My son for the past 2 weeks he been saying he chest is sore. sometimes it's in the middle and hurts when he move r breath?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Costochondritis: This could be costochondritis which is an inflammation of the bones that connect your ribs to your breastbone. Possible musculoskeletal pain if he has been weight training. He still should have this evaluated by his Primary Care Provider especially if he is having trouble breathing.
