A member asked:
What does it mean if your upper right rib hurts when you breathe in and lean forward?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breathing rib pain: In the absence of trauma or injury it could mean several things such as a injured lung (spontaneous pneumothorax) or irritation of the lining of the chest (pleurisy) due to infection or inflammation, or costochondritis.
