What causes pain in your ribs when you burp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Movement: When you burp, your diaphragm contracts, slightly pulling on lower ribs and the change in pressure in your thoracic cavity puts your ribs and intercostal muscles through a range of motion they are not used to going through. That range of motion is what causes the pain. Hope that helps!
