- Welcome to our channel! In this video, Hina Sheth from Rebalance Physical Therapy in Philadelphia and Narberth on the Main Line of Pennsylvania is here to talk about rib pain after a fall or a traumatic incident around the chest or rib cage.
Have you been experiencing rib pain but not sure what to do about it? Maybe you've been to the ER and they didn't find a fracture or maybe you did have a fracture and it healed but you're still feeling discomfort. This video is for you!
Hina will be discussing the common symptoms associated with rib pain, such as chest pain, stiffness, and difficulty breathing. She'll also explain how physical therapy can help alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
If you're tired of living with rib pain and want to learn more about how physical therapy can help, be sure to watch this video until the end. And don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel for more helpful tips and information!
All of these things could be signs that you’re still having issues around the rib joint and that there’s some sort of musculoskeletal involvement.
Rib cage 101: What muscles does my rib cage connect to?
Your sternum is at the front of your rib cage and the ribs are connected to the sternum by cartilage. In the back, the ribs attach to your thoracic spine. Layered on top of these joints is a ton of muscle and tissue.
The intercostal muscles connect in between the ribs and the pectoralus muscles are on top of the front of your rib cage. The serratus muscles connect through the ribs and onto your shoulder blade in the back.
Shoulder and Neck Pain Could Be Related to Your Rib
Your rib cage moves with your shoulder and neck. If your rib cage isn’t functioning right, those muscles can protectively tighten and prevent your head, neck and shoulder from moving properly. If the joints are moving incorrectly, over time this can cause pain and become a musculoskeletal issue over time.
How can Physical Therapy help?
If you’re experiencing consistent pain, there could be something going on in between all the muscles. This means making adjustments to skeletal alignment might not be enough. An integrative holistic physical therapist can work on realigning the whole body and address skeletal, muscular and soft tissue issues that could be contributing to your rib pain.

Bruh I was sitting down and it felt like I got shot in my rib cage
Same and it happened twice then under my chest
@@hurricanesun77 me too it feels like something aharp is poking me and i cant breathe for a moment.
@@alyssa-bu5rc yeah I'm just confused because I can't figure out why it's happening I just know I don't want it to happen again
@@hurricanesun77 have you tried physical therapy ?
@@delvikingjr5739 no I haven't it doesn't happen often but when it does it sucks maybe it's from the increase of activeness to be honest during the pandemic I stayed inside not doing much and now I'm out more
Dude the rib cage moving made me think I was having an acid flashback.
Excellent description and illustration of rib , chest and back and possible causes of pain.
Very helpful to understand the this painful issue. Thank you for this post
I wish this Doctor was my family Doctor , she seems like such a wonderful doc who cares deeply about her job .
I can't imagine how painful a broken ribs are, the first day after I sprained my intercostal muscle, I was in hell. everytime I tried to sit up or bend over, I felt like I was taking a liver shot from Tyson. Hope everyone feels better soon!
Very painful, I can't take a very deep breath, it hurts if I sit too long, last night only slept 4 hrs if I move when sleeping and lean on that side the pain wakes me up, it will probably be a month before I can get back to my lifestyle, my exercise routine. I'm pissed. I told my husband, do you love me, he said yes, then go break the guys rib for me 😁😁
@@65adela I actually did end up with a couple broken ribs. It took about 6 weeks for mine to heal. It feels like it will never get better but it does, try your BEST to avoid sneezing.
@@jimmyb9180 I smoke, every time I cough, I want to die.
@@65adela same happen to me yesterday mine front wheel of bike skid in rainy day ,speed was low around 30-40 and while falling my hand absorbed shock after falling in that angle by rib muscle bruised I think can anyone provide me good tips for fast healing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@allsports6045 just be mentally strong brother, not much you can do for them.
Here's a story about how I acquired chest discomfort and more.
-
I was in my first car accident about 3 Christmas's ago. I was driving my former Crown Victoria p71 right before winter came. I ended up driving onto black ice one night and i had no seatbelt on. My speed was 45-50mph, which was the limit. but I gained speed quickly once I started drifting, it was wet out and I never had problems before on wet surfaces. But the road I took was inclined at the side, so gravity forced me across the oncoming lane. It was really scary how it just suddenly happened.
First thing I knew, I was driving on my side of the road, next thing I knew, the car up shifted because I was going uphill and we started drifting across the street. This happened around 11pm at night, hitting and coming to a dead stop at a telephone pole. During my short thinking window I could've either steered my car into the woods next to the pole, or just hit the pole, I chose the pole but I thought it'd be safer. We may have almost died, but we didn't and that's enough for me to not regret that decision. I'm kind of a beefy guy, and I really believe if it wasn't for the fat around my chest, I probably would've suffered worse injuries.
I closed my eyes right before the impact, first thing i heard was the front bumper striking the thick brushes that surrounded the telephone pole. Next it was the impact. First feeling I felt while coming to a dead stop was my lower back muscles literally ripping and pulling as I tried to stay mildly relaxed and somewhat stiff in my seat with my hands on 11 and 2 position controlling the drift, again no seatbelt. I never got knocked unconscious, and I hit my head at least three separate ways in less than half a second. I opened my eyes to disaster. I felt no pain after the wreck, my adrenaline kicked in right once my back muscles got torn.
My car engine died, someone drove past us and didn't stop while I oddly turned on my 4-ways while we were basically I the woods on the other side of the street facing oncoming traffic.
My brother ended up getting worse head injury to his temple and eye socket. He started leaking blood from his nose, and was unresponsive. I really thought he died. He lived though and is back to the way he was.
My whole chest cavity slammed against the steering wheel. To this day I still get discomfort on the right side of my chest, no sharp pains there, but i feel as if something is slipping, Its like a popping sensation when I lay on my right side. I kept thinking it was my liver swelling up from my unhealthy eating habits.
I've also had pretty sharp pain in my upper back from time to time since the wreck, it would come out of nowhere and go away on its own. It would make my whole chest cavity buzz in pain if I moved and I'd feel discomfort when I breathed deeply.
Top of my head spider webbed the windshield, my teeth came into contact with the top part of my steering wheel too. It knocked the front 4 teeth out of place and chipped one of my top teeth. I really thought I was gonna lose all those teeth.(ended up just biting down nonstop for 4-5 days until I felt no wiggle from the teeth and no pain when I bit down on them. I haven't had health insurance since I turned 18 and moved out. I'm about to be 22 here in November and I plan to go get it so I can actually go get looked at. Almost any "symthoms" I feel I never pay attention to because I'm so used to feeling pain it's normal for me.)
I also slammed my head against the support beam that goes from the body up to the roof of the car. I had no health insurance at the time, and I was in a very tight spot. I ended up lying to the doctors at the E.R cause i was afraid they'd call the police because my vehicle wasn't fully legal and my license was suspended(you know, stuff young people get scared of).
It was a real shit show and I really could've handled the aftermath better now looking back since I've matured.
The nurses and doctors knew I been through a trauma, my adrenaline was racing for hours til they gave me something for it to subside. They told me that I tore a lot of lower back muscles after a CT scan, but never told me about my concussion. They discharged me, and few days later I felt extremely light headed, I couldn't keep my balance without a cane, and felt like puking. Eventually went back and they told me about the concussion like they expected me to already know that.
I have felt like a different person ever since that wreck. For some reason, I don't find importance in much of my past. I been feeling.. distant from my past, like it's hard to believe that I lived the life I have so far. I acquired a slight stutter when I never had one and I lost a lot of vocabulary that i used to know in high school.
I've been through a lot trying to get my life right after graduating have high school, but I never got the support I needed to take flight.
I just kept failing and failing at trying to make something of myself and so eventually my life led me up to that life changing wreck. I had extremely severe depression after that wreck and I had to also raise 11 large breed puppies in my mom's basement. Those pups helped me mentally, but only for the time I was around them. My family kept asking me to cook dinner, and other household chores literally once I get back from the hospital, it was like to them, I didn't suffer from anything or it never happened because I can take pain way better than others. They used me at my worst and that time era I can never forget. It's burned into my head and I tear up every time I think about the whole thing and how it all went. I'm really trying to do everything right come next month. It just sucks, I never felt more alone in my life than sitting in that car trying to wake up my unconscious brother while I'm crying thinking he died from impact while I never even got knocked unconscious.
I also got my identity stolen from the car because I left to go to the hospital but didn't call the police. They eventually came to my home and confronted me about it. And they said they never grabbed my identity documents. Now I been unemployed for over a year and now that my bday is coming up, I want to start a new and try again at becoming independent and successful, but I want to get my body checked cause I plan to lose a lot of weight and gain a lot of muscle. I haven't been generally happy in years.

Sorry for the length i just hope whoever sees this loves to read like me haha. I can't tell part of a story without giving it whole. I really can't thank you enough for this video, I've been wondering for years what this discomfort could be and you gave me the best break down of what I most likely be suffering from.
So sorry to hear of the accident you were in.. having read your story I hope and pray you have took the challenge on to change your life and turn it around. The process to heal mentally emotionally and physically take there time. However I do hope your feeling much better and focusing on a better future. Love to you ❤️ Cares
i have read all of this im soooo happy for you brother, i really love to read things like these, my main language is arabic, anyway thank you so much for taking your time sharing this with us ❤️
Ugh I lay down and get up and it really hurts
Sameeeee😭😭😭
same shawty’s it’s only been couple days but damn can’t sleep, hurts so bad when I cough/sneeze. it’s my left side. fell into a sharp corner rlly bad
@@bdawgsmith4499 for me it's my right
For me it's the right as well. Top rib under the armpit all the way round the bottom of my right chest
Sameee
This is the best explanation I've seen for this problem.. I fell 8 ft onto the corner of a wall in my spine 8 years ago.. doctors wouldn't even scan me for a year and a half.. as usual they say no problem.. go and carry on.. I was a full time barber but now cant work in my profession atal. Everytime I try to strengthen my back my rib spasms out and I can barely stand for a couple of mins and have a couple days of extreme pain.. thank you for posting this explanation as I will use it to guide my own explanation. I am in the uk so unfortunately I cant get to you. But thank you again.
I hit my sternum twice within 9 days after crashing. 13 days after the first injury, I coughed and it felt like my sternum came loose. Went to the ER and no injuries showed up on the X-Rays.
Great explanation. I haven't been able to find a Dr to help me with my rib, but ive recently started doing Iyengar yoga and it has helped tremendously. Back adjustments and tens unit weren't getting done for me.
Marijuana helps
Pls share a video if you can
@@luisramirez4231 ?
The thing that happens to me is when I lay down my ribs start to hurt for 10 seconds until it stops and comes back every 10 minutes
Thank you for such great visuals and explanation! I broke the cartilage of my ribs and have also had pain in my shoulder and mid back and now I know why.
Glad it helped!
This was very informative thank you so much ! You described what i have exactly.
You are so welcome!
Another thing would look into maybe stress. Intercostals tend to tighten and be painful during anxiety states. Hence why so many patients come into the er thinking they have a heart issue. Best of luck my dudes. Long road but chronic pain tends to get better with well being and destressing
I just seen your comment I have the same issues rib pain with anxiety
My ribs hurt and this woman is pretty. Those are my thoughts. Wish all of you well!
Woke up one day to experience this awful pain. Can’t lay down on my left side, cant laugh or breath properly! I’ve not experienced any injuries that I recall though !
I’m feeling exactly the same but I did suffer a fall about 12 days ago and I still have lain but on my right side
This is very helpful. Thank you so much for posting.
Doc, you illustrate this and explain it so well. Thank you very much. Now I understand what's going on with my body🤗
I have been experiencing this rib pain for over than 2 years... believe it or not I have lived right in Narberth, PA years ago... And I really need you now that I don't live there anymore! :(
Did you find any solution??
1.Please do yoga related to thoracic region...
2.Restore your upright posture.
3. Avoid inflammatory diet
4. Atleast 5 km walk /everyday
5.deep diaphragmatic breathing.
6.plus relaxation music.
7.avoid too much soft mattress.
8.use lumber back support when you sit.
9.use yogurt or kafeer for probiotics, which are important for
Better immune system.
Tell me if you need more detailed information.
@@artlover9061 thanks
Very to the point ! Thank you so much 😊
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT,,, very helpful video...
Super concise, thank you and subscribed !
You're welcome! We're glad this video helped you.
Thank you! You stated the same things that my "sports medicine" doctor told me when I went in for rib injuries. I tried lifting a piece of furniture and strained too much which caused a loud pop in my ribs and a stabbing pain. After a week it was still painful so I went to him and after taking x-rays and seeing that there were no fractures he gave me a spinal adjustment. The next day I was feeling much better although the ribs are slightly sensitive to touch. I expect that to be gone within a day or two.
Sorry to hear about this painful experience. I hope it will be gone very soon.
If I sleep on my sides, my rib cage will legit start hurting, I’m not lying just recently I was freaking out running around the house because it hurts so bad, it feels like a burning pain to me, and it’s hard for me to breath. Like 3 minutes ago it stopped and now I’m scared to go back to sleep..
Hit it with a massive amount of Ibuprofen for at least 2-3 days (3 pills per day, 600 mg). If you take less it kinda works but will not knock out the inflamed ribs. You might have to repeat this after a week or so. Do not take this much Ibuprofen every day for weeks if you value your liver, kidneys and your life over the long haul.
Do you still have this? Did they ever find a issue?
Am really In pains right now
What do I do
@@maureenchukwuma6161 take turmeric for pain acts as an anti inflammatory great for health. Yogurt and milk for bone restoration. Hope you're feeling better

Help me to understand how you became better, you know I'm suffering for about a year now. Help me please.
@@sikapendinakapenda4170 seriously? A year already? I might feel the same way as well 😭
Well I don’t think I hurt myself in any way but my ribs are hurting. My arm hurts too from softball
I constantly have totally random sharp pain in one of my ribs. I have no idea what it is, I want to do something about it
LiRizzy have u gotten it fixed?

How long for the pain to go away, got a sharp pain between the ribs I think:(
A maby a week
I have this sore muscle feeling, like its was beaten up; under my right ribs, same area behind my back and in my right tricep. I touch it and felt no lump or further pain when pressed. All I did was theraphy before a medical examination, after a few days after that this happened
Exactly what I needed 😁😁
We are happy this information helped you.
Tip:Stop slouching and stretch more it helps me
did you go see a doctor?
This was so helpful! I recently had a fall and I am having pain in my pectoral area everytime I take a deep breathe in it hurts and when I lay down I can feel it straining went a&e and they couldn’t see no sign of fracture so I can imagine it is just muscle pain/ inflammation or bruising 🤷♂️or maybe cartalige that’s connected to the rib I’m just worrying that I have a cracked rib and it’s gunna Stab up my organs lol you know when you get worries by the possibilities of what it could be but this video really helped me understand that area a lot better 👊🏻
hey how are you, I'm in same situation
Priya I’m all good now the pain wore off after time just take it easy and rest up you should be fine
I feel you same happened with me fok
@@youtune2422 Hey, how long did it take you to recover. Appreciate your time. Thanks
nitehwk88 - took like a good 3 weeks to a month for me man. This was the worst pain as every time I breathed it hurt
i have had rib pain on the side of the body and i had no hit or injury and my mum keeps saying it’s because i sit down all day and i have bad stiffness in the back and i don’t know what to do
What was it?
Thanks for Video
Thank you .
I’m realizing this is way more common than i thought. We must pray because gosh it seems like it’s nothing we can do. I sat down too hard and now my chest back and under my arms are hurting. Sitting up is the worst. I’m almost a week out from my accident. I had a 4 wheeler accident and landed directly on my chest. It makes me feel better I’m not alone but i hate it for us all🥺🙏🏾
You're welcome! We're glad this video helped you.
This pain happens to me randomly and it hurts when I breathe to much so I breathe quick cause I’m scared

Love you ...Good talk
I went to the clinic to get right side lower rib pain checked. I was going to be sent to xray, but the doctor said no. "It's just chostochondritis." I tried to tell them I have a history of spontaneous fractures and am testing for autoimmune diseases, but he just dismissed it. They gave me menthol rub and paracetamol. The pain isn't going away
Like my rib cage pain comes and goes, and everytime I sneeze, cough or breathe it doesnt hurt so idk what's going on but can someone help me out here I'm really scared and I dont wanna pass.
Mabye go to a doctor
@@hopetheelfpet2324 The gospel is a proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only.
The word GOSPEL means “good news.The Good News then is what is taught about something good.This teaching is found in Scripture Alone.The Scripture teaches that God is Holy.God’s Holiness and Sovereignty demand Holiness (complete perfection) from every human.Humanity has sinned, fallen from perfection, and commits sins because we are sinners.God is His holiness is required to be just, therefore, the just condemnation for sin is death.Therefore all men are dead spiritually and will die physically and will enter into a second death eternally.So what’s the good news? God sent the Son, fully God, fully man, born of a virgin, prophesied forever, to live as a human being.Jesus is His name. He is the Christ (messiah), or the Holy Anointed of God.He lived a life of absolute perfection without any sin before God as a man.He then died a death that He did not deserve in order to take the punishment (death) of sinners.His death Atoned (paid for) the sins of His people.Jesus’ death satisfied the wrath of God justly, because He substituted in life (obedience) and death (punishment) for His people.God, through the hearing of this truth, brings to life sinners and causes them to be born again to a living hope in Jesus Christ.Jesus rose from the dead and lives today in order to vindicate all His claims and promises.Therefore, Christ has taken the wrath of God from all who believe, those for whom He died and their sins will be held against them no more.The good news then is that those who trust in this redemption through this God-man Jesus, have eternal life.
Wow
@@mssmith142 The true gospel is the good news of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is concerning who Christ is and what He did to save His elect only. The gospel includes the how and why, which can only be seen by faith.
It is a message that declares how the eternal Son of God came down, took on a body of sinless flesh (John 1:14) as He was born of a virgin (Mat 1:23). He was both God and man in one Person.
He was born under the Law to keep and fulfill it (Mat 5:18, Gal 4:4). He did that, not for Himself, but for all those He represented because they could not keep it themselves. The word of God calls these people the elect or His sheep, among several other names.
His obedient life also included the part of dying. He took on the sin of His people as both a Substitute and Representative of those people. The Bible said He was "made to be sin" (II Cor 5:21) and the way that was done is by God imputing (legally reckoned or charged to the account of) sin to Christ. That means all the sin of all those people God chose was "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). This sin was legally transferred to His account and He then owned it in such a way to be guilty of it all.
God the Father poured out His wrath and hatred toward sin on His Son and had pleasure (Isaiah 53:10) in doing so, in that, He was completely satisfied in Christ as a Sacrifice that met all the demands of His strict Law and inflexible justice. Christ finished the work of paying the penalty of the Law and then said " It is finished" (John 19:30). He secured salvation for all God’s chosen people that would even be born. His resurrection is evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice to the Father.
The combined work of His obedience to the Law and His obedience unto death on the cross was considered establishing righteousness. This is what one of the Old Testament prophets prophesied as "bringing in an everlasting righteousness" (Daniel 9:24) as Christ died effectually and exclusively for those chosen of God before the world began (Eph 1:4).
This righteousness is what God imputes to His people in the context of giving the life to believe in Christ. This puts them in a state called "Justification" and as a result they are eternally secure, in Christ. This is the gospel (Rom 1:16-17).
All this takes place in such a way to show God as both a God of justice and a Savior. This is how grace reigns through righteousness (Rom 5:21).
@@john146muaythai much respect and I love what you are doing brother. I suggest you figure out how to condense your way of preaching. I say this because otherwise people tend to ignore it. You want to get a response so say something intriguing and go from there. Much love in Christ
Yeah I did some weird stretch and now my shoulder’s been tingling for a few days
Two ways that cures my rib pain:
1)
Chop 2 or 3 pieces of fresh garlic and with a glass of water swallow it like the way to take tablets. Do this twice a day you’ll see a great improvement! Trust me it works! I have been going through this rib pain without fractures after a fall I recently had. So I know what I am talking about. Plus this I also do the next.
2) Heat some water from your stovetop; pour it in a small bucket or in a box( whatever you please to use)
Fold and Soak a small towel in the hot water ( not a kind of hot water that will burn your skin) squeeze the water out the towel with both of your hands and put the hot towel on the affected area press little bit on it for 30 to 50 second so that the heat from the towel will enter that particular area to heal you! Repeat this until you feel that there’s no more heat in the water. Also do this twice a day. I suggest you have someone that you trust to do this kind of massage for you while you Peacefully lay yourself down. You will feel amazing!
These are some amazing remedies!
Do both until you are pain free.
Elise Avity Noku i will try this i met with scooter accident and had below chest scratches now which have developed into pain. Also i have wet cough with green phlegm developed now and when i cough it pains in the left rib
When my ribs get twisted or it does not align, it hurts and I have to push it but it hurts more.
I’ve had pain in a rib in my back below the shoulder blade for over a decade. I had xrays that showed nothing, bone scan with contrast that showed a large area of inflammation in my thoracic spine, and an mri which showed several discs herniated and/or degenerating and a old compression fracture of the T11 vertebra. I had an epidural block that did nothing. I’ve never believed that the pain radiates out from the spine. It feels very much like the pain originated in the rib area. It feels like a knife stuck in my back and can be debilitating. But when doctors see the condition of my thoracic spine they feel like that’s what they should treat. The only thing that has ever helped is laying down. So when it gets bad I have to go on bed rest. I know it’s easier to treat what you can see than what you can’t, but why can’t they grasp that whenever my spine was injured I could’ve injured other areas nearby as well?
Hi Misty,
It could be a combination of muscles spasm, trigger points causing imbalance and then problems around the rib cage joints and the thoracic spine. Hard to know without an evaluation...we treat many at our clinic where the pain was actually coming from the cervical spine so that is something that could also be causing issues that appear to be coming from the rib/thoracic spine...or it could be a combination of cervical/thoracic and rib cage. You could consider having a video case management consult with us if you can't find help near you:

Rebalance Physical Therapy Thank you. At this point I will no longer see anyone who doesn’t believe me when I say the origin of the pain is not in the spine. I’ve spent over a decade with this and seen several experts. The last orthopedist suggested another epidural block. I just said no and never went back. Now the pain radiates from the spot where it feels like the invisible knife is down into my hip and around my rib cage toward the front. I’m absolutely convinced the problems radiate FROM that spot not TO it.
If it can’t be imaged, I’m not sure what anyone can do for me. I’m

I HAD a car wreak and the seat belts help me mess me what can i do
I have been out of work for 16months , I have pain in my ribs. I have tingling from my breast to my left bottom ribs 7-10 and I have been to chiropractor and I have had injections in my back. It has helped me some along with pt for 6weeks and now I go to the gym and I work on core strength. I have gotten to where I can get up off the floor better but still have a lot of pain. I looked into slipping rib syndrome and the Dr agreed that is why I have had injections. I wonder if I will ever get back to normal
Ronald Coley anything?
I was riding my lawnmower. I went to cut some grass between my property and neighbors property. I went at an angle to cut it. I went down really hard and came back up. The steering wheel hit my rib cage. I didn’t think nothing of it. The next morning I sneezed and my chest was in so much pain. Drove 1 hour in a half up to Hampton VA medical center. They did all the tests. Everything came back normal. Later that week. I was dealing with so much pain. There have been incidents where I would loose consciousness do to having a seizure. I saw my doctor and he said it could be rib contusions. I though the pain was gone. It has came back.
I am sorry you are having this issue. We would love to answer all the questions that come in however it becomes a liability to give medical advise without sufficient knowledge and questioning of your history and background.

I'm in the UK, I've had a chronic dysfunctional rib cage with pain and discomfort for the past five years. It's mentally killed me all these years and I continue to seek a solution after seeing so many specialists, chiros etc... Man, it's hard to cope....

Are you okay now?
@@Suki4r yep it's gone now💪🙂
The middle of my ribs was aching when i bent or dancing and sometimes im just doing nothing but it still hurts but it only happen once
What about If it goes inward on your left chest
Hi, mam (Theenesh theo),
Would you please do it a video of survival Spain c5-c6 and the same time right shoulder tear physio thearpy,
please.........,
thanking you,
Thanks soo much
You're Welcome!
I was doing plank twists and suddenly i felt a electric like pain under my left ribcage. No severe pain but only feel that electric pain while doing plank twists or twisting that area. Is this severe?
Which exercise is best for it..I'm also having same problem..??
I am feeling pain near to last rib on left side, don not know whether it is due to muscules or otherwise, pls explain.
I had a bad accident n have chronic back pain for so many years..until recently i met a doctor which diagnosed my problem using ultrasound instead of mri xray ct scan..turns out my costotransverse joints were causing problems. Did prp injection for treatment
Hi my name is ARIN. I am from INDIA, i am facing the same problem you mentioned into the video, upper rib pain, i have seen doctor but there is no problem with my ribs however i am experiencing pain every day. I will be really thankful to you if you can suggest me some medicines or some exercises.
arindam datta hey Arin, try some shots of Vitamin B12, use a heating pad at least twice a day and exercise your mid back... It's been helping, but my situation is chronic and I am over lots of stress (which I think it makes the pain worse). Yoga will help, I am sure. But make sure to see a chiropractor... If you have scoliosis, the ribs might be out of place due to the vertebraes may be rotated. Then you have to adjust them. I hope these tips work out for you!
Just Very Sharp pain on the right side from an Accident Just trying to learn all I can to get back healthy . THIS REALLY HURTS .
yes like what happened when one of your PT caused this for me during session one because the first rib was stuck and she pulled my entire cage and when i said my thoracic spine was out at three segments after a month of suffering she said oh these connect to the tspine she had no clue ... didn't have issues until she happened and pressed on me while i was standing and caused hand numbness now have perm pain i did not have when i walked in and i'm in a MS vest and no care from your office take a look at my vlog at what's been done
had no lower rib issues she pulled so hard on me it's insanity
You explain the injury properly and Surly but it would be nice if you give us some information on how to relieve the pain or treat it I've been having pain over 6 months and I think they missed another fracture and it's really bothering me every single day and night keep saying they can't find anything
You probably have bruised ribs or hernia or a small fracture that the x-rays can't detect
Very deep information mam.. Thankyou vry much ..I have a shoulder problem .due to this my chest n little bit down ribs are in pain..
All the best
@@RebalancePhysicalTherapy ..mam can u plz tell me..what exercises rehab..I do for cure this problem
How do you treat the negging pain between the ribs right under the left( male) breast
mam i am a security worker and recently i have been punched and my upper back near scapula and vertebral column hurts aftter 12 hrs of getting hit....

I am exercising and I just got the pain in my rib/chess like it compacted i know it doesn't make sense but I feel like it
Same
Same:(
@@daniiiiart2681 it hurts, back then i feel like passing out
Thank you for this video, for the time you took in explaining. Everything you mention I am going through. I've been in the ER four times, am going to chiro but just seem that he make adjustments and then pain travels to other parts. first was my sternum chest,then my lower ribs,then my lower back I couldn't sit down,ans know I don't have pain, it's just slight pressure. But now my arms and back are killing me I twist my arm and shoulders click,if I lift my left arm my spine cracks if I press my pectoral my back rib crack. my question is what do you call this illness? Please and Thank you God bless.
Cristian, I have had a problem similar to yours for many years. Chronic pain is hell I know. Have you found much help for your condition? Could you email me if you get this message and let me know? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, nevetland@gmail.com
nevets any updates?
I m like I m the most laziest person and got a rib pain without any movements
You didn’t explain what to do. I live in california.
She did. She said to call them if you're in the Philadelphia area to make an appointment with them for treatment. Your S.O.L. if you're not in the Philly area 😄
When you live in South Africa...
I am in Uganda, my friend got an accident one month ago, the doctors told her that the ribs doesn't have any fracture but she still feels pain when she sleeps and while breathing once in while. Which medicine can she buy and take so that she can recover from the pain.
I am a medical doctor, try marijuana
Costochondritis.
I got socked in my ribs on the left side and they're hurting so so bad. It's been 5-6 days and it feels like it's just getting worse. It hurts to bend over. Touch the side. Sit down. Lay down. Or even cough. Sneezing is a nightmare. Thank you for this video, so so many thanks.
How is it now, I am having this , plz reply
@@keerthana4724 after four months I have no pain in my ribs at all anymore. I have other health problems right now, but they healed pretty well. It took about 2 to 3ish months (give or take) for the full heal with no pain. Also I tried to eat a lot of more healthy foods since I was feeling so shitty and couldn't move much. That helped the mental part a bit as well :3
@@keerthana4724 are you having it in a big patch? Or only a few ribs it feels like?
@@vitani16 only at ribs
@@keerthana4724 the most I can say is rest and eat body-helping foods. Avoid high-sodium foods/or high intake of it. Avoids high intake of sugar. The most you can do now, is rest with some small exercises,( like torso twists, half toe-touches, etc) to help not get stiff and help with movement. Take a lot of aleve/ibuprofen and drinks lots of water. Don't use a heating Pad or heat products, it feels liek its helps for the moment, but it makes things (feel) worse eventually.
It's both with mind and matter. If u r anxious or stressed the pain will increase and vice versa. If you pain is more panic increases.. Try to resolve both guys...

I’ve never broken a bone I’ve never hurt my ribs or chest in any way it just hurts when I breathe sometimes :/
I am experiencing a punch like pain in my mid ribs between my side and spine everytime I cough and much worse when I sneeze. We are in lockdown so have only had phone advice, we don't xray ribs here. It was six weeks since I fell against the edge of the kitchen unit...
hi how are you I'm in same situation
I’m dealing with pain for 19 years now . Finally being told after seeing probably 50 doctors over the years that it’s a twisted rib leading to t-6 area. Any thoughts ? They told me because it’s been so long it will be very difficult to fix ot now . Pain is terrible daily . Thanks
See Dr Hansen in West Virginia. There’s a Facebook group called slipping rib syndrome that can help
Its 2019, and feeling sore left rib from 2016 rugby shoulder tackle below my armpit, thinking its my left lung, sometimes it feels squeezed and can't breathe, from front below chest, to around like a C under my armpit to back.
i have bruised ribs around 3 weeks ago , it went away but my left ribs still hurting its not much but when i try to sit up it felt like needle shoot at my left rib and so i eat my medicine and all but sometimes i had trouble with breathing , my back hurts my shoulder too and I remember this one time my jaw suddenly hurting along with my neck i didnt poop for a long time its always once or two times a week too, i often pee though because i keep drinking water because im too anxious 😅 i thought it was normal because im going through a recovery phase so i didnt think too much about it until yesterday i got this burn feeling below my breast its so damn hard to breath that i keep drinking cold water , today its hurting too when i sat up to play my phone im so scared is it dangerous? should i seek for medical help immediately?

I choked on water and made my right side hurt. I walk to work which made it hurt worse. And then I worked my shift I lift heavy items. Went home and that night I woke my boyfriend up crying in pain Bc I couldn’t breathe In too hard or it hurts. Couldn’t lay on my side. Only my back. I sneezed and the pain was so sharp I bursted into tears and now (next night) ive done the same thing. I missed work so I don’t hurt it even more. But tonight I couldn’t get out of bed to use the bathroom Bc my side hurts so bad and I woke him up yet again crying and he’s so concerned and I’m going to the doctor in the morning
Glmr kilz i do hope your much better now. I've been in tears with pain in my ribcage after a fall 3months ago. Still waiting for more improvement
Hi.. My chest pain is for more than 5 years ,these days it's worst when I squeeze or bend chest . I already went to Doctor many times, and the tests including CT scan , Xray, ECG, ETT , and blood tests are normal. Need help.
Thanks.
yes bro since 3 years of pain..help me
Pain is from the individual bones not joint no spine pain but I also have pain in my collar bone and arms bone forearm bones and pinky finger metacarpal. Both arms equally. Seems yesterday and I feel sensitive to temperature and today I felt better after having like a 3hour nap?
I worked for FedEx in my area just for the season. Midway through I pulled something min my right rib. It wasn't a fracture but either a muscle or other tissue. I'm 42 and I'm thin (5' 9", 140 lbs.) so there isn't really much tissue in the area. Hurt like a son of a b**ch. Was able to get some heavy packages removed from my truck and just dealt with it. Didn't recover quick but within 8 weeks, I was doing good. Keep in mind. The medical community can't do squat for pulled rib tissue (or even a fracture since they can't rap it), so don't waste your money or time. Only go if you have a low tolerance for pain or a completely broken rip (or shattered rib). Otherwise, learn to rest and move little. Remember, the medical community will destroy your bank account because they can get away with it. Even using old fashion methods and tech that should only cost no more than $50.00 will cost you at least $550.00. Price gouging thieves. Never call a doctor unless you have no other choice.
