Hello, I was wondering what to do about a rib problem I seem to have. It seems like two of my ribs on my upper left ribcage are rubbing together. This causes a tremendous amount of pain. I am a swimmer and it sometimes sends spurts of pain into my left chest area. I'm really getting frustrated with trying to ignore it and am wondering if anyone out there has any advice. I have not seen a doctor yet and am wondering if I should to get a chest x-ray or something. If anyone out there can relate, please comment! Thanks!
