A doctor has provided 1 answer

If it is dependent: on positioning of your upper extremities, or of your ribs/ chest cage, then it is likely a musculoskeletal condition such as costochondritis or muscle strain. You can try some ibuprofen 200-400 mg three times daily with food or naprosyn 500 mg two times daily with food. If it is not resolved after 2-e days, then proceed to a healthcare provider for proper examination and treatment.
