A member asked:
What causes aches in side ribs below armpits? this ache often appears in lower ribs near breastbone, both sides of chest, and spreads to the upper back & shoulder blades?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In the absence of injuries and obvious inflammation, aches in essentially your entire rib cage may be caused by fibromyalgia or an autoimmune disorder. I recommend consulting a rheumatologist for evaluation,testing and treatment advice.
