What Causes Persistent Pain Around Rib Cage?
I frequently feel pressure around my rib cage. I first noticed it associated with wearing bras; the tightness is where the band of the bra laid. I stopped wearing bras because of this but the discomfort is still there; it s only in the area where the bra band was.

Hello,
I would suggest you do an X-ray of the chest to check for lesions. I suspect it just can be mussels pain related to overexercising. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Try to have rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
