What Causes Pain Around Rib Cage/back When Breathing Deeply?
Hi, I had the flu two weeks ago and now feel pain around my rib cage (upper part) and the back area everytime I breathe deeply or move around. If I sneeze it gets really hard. I am okay by now and my dr. listened to my chest and said all seems clear. Is there any reason for this discomfort? should I worry about it?
