My rib right under my right breast hurts badly, and is making it hard to breathe. i put an ice pack on it, but it isn't helping.. idk why it hurts!

Hard to say: Have you been exercising, or did you lift something heavy?. If you have had a bad cough, that could pull a muscle between the ribs we also worry about a "dropped lung". See a osteopathic physician. They can rule out the medical possibilities and can manipulate your ribs if they determine it to be musculoskeletal.
