What Causes Pain From A Deformed Rib?
Im a 19 year old male. I was born with a deformed rib on my left side. Im scared to go to doctor because its not consistant. The pain comes about once a month but has come more frequently as I got older. When it comes its a vary painful ache no mater what way I sit but I noticed if I apply pressure at the bottom and up under the rib it brings the pain down. Any idea what this is?

hi,
as you mentioned about the deformed rib, there is a chance that the normal anatomy and biomechanics of respiration will be disturbed.
you need to get an x-ray done to check what exactly is wrong with the muscles.
you can take advice from the pulnonologist and visit a physical therapist who will help you gain strength in respiratory muscles by performing breathing exercises and you will avoid future pains too.
with the grace of I wish you a speedy recovery
