What Causes Breaking Of Several Rib Bones In A Year?
i have had several broken ribs this year, in fact today i broke my 4th rib. just leaning against something and putting pressure on my ribs. I am 35 and never broke a rib before, could there be something wrong with my bones or something else to be concerned about?

Hi,
If it is broken by more pressure it's normal. But if it has happened with very minimal pressure, then it is a problem of concern. Consult local orthopaedician for further evaluation of bone calcium and bone density etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Phanindra Dulipala
