A member asked:
Can vomiting cause sore ribs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thanks for asking!: Typically vomiting can cause intercostal muscle strain discomfort, and i've seen a number of other patients who have both abdominal muscle and intercostal muscle/costochondritis after episodes of protracted vomiting.
