You could have costochondritis, fractured ribs or, as suggested, pulled muscles. Symptom relief with high dose ibuprofen is a good idea. However be aware that this therapy can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. As you wait for the pain to subside use these muscles as little as possible.

constant pain in under my left rib was started.
I also have had constant pain under my left breast and ribs. I went to the doctor and they took a chest x-ray, said I fractured a rib from coughing so much from a cold. I was told to take advil and the discomfort should eventually go away. It has now been 2 months, I could not stand the pain any longer, so I went back to the doctor and she took another chest ex-ray and determined that I did not have a fractured rib. She told me to take the perscribed muscle relaxers, and see her again in 10 days if the pain did not subside. Well, I phoned her last week and she ordered a CT scan, which was yesterday. The radiologist called in the results to the doctor on duty, because my doctor after hours, could not be reached. The doctor on duty, whom I have never met, imformed me that I have a nodule on my left lung about 1.9cm, and told me to call my doctor on Monday. I am only 41 years old and in good health, I am a light smoker, although not smoking since this news. I would like to know if this is a sign of lung cancer and what is the next step. This is the weekend, so I have 2 days to worry myself sick.
i hope we all get better, any suggestions from anyone i also have wheezing.
