What does it mean when there is pain in ribs when i breathe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It could be pain within the lining of your lungs, pain with the joints or muscles involved with your ribs or even a fracture of your ribs if you were recently injured. If it is not resolving or if it is severe you should get it checked out.
