What Causes Discomfort In The Rib Cage And Chest?
Hello there, I was just wondering about something I discovered recently. I ve been feeling discomfort in my left rib-cage, more towards the middle and lower parts of my chest; if I put pressure on it I can feel my ribs move and a light popping feeling. There is not pain associated with this Pop just mild discomfort. Any suggestions? My doctor is currently on holidays and I don t know if this is worthy of a walk in clinic visit or if it will pass.

Probably its costochondirits,which is an inflammation in the ribs,if there is no other problems...so I suggest to take antiinflammatory tab for a week or two till you can see a doctor
