Rib Pain: Symptoms and Types

Sharp pain, dull ache, and other common symptoms

Rib pain can manifest in various ways such as a dull, achy pain or sharp stabbing pain. It may also cause difficulty in breathing, pain during coughing or sneezing, and discomfort while moving. Patients may also experience tenderness or swelling in the affected area.

Differentiating types of rib pain

There are different types of rib pain, including costochondritis, rib fractures, and intercostal muscle strains. Costochondritis is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone, while rib fractures occur due to traumatic injury or intense coughing. Intercostal muscle strains can occur due to repetitive movements or poor posture.
