I've been having this swelling in my rib bone under my breast, and it's really huge. Plus there's one in my left shoulder and a lighter one on the right side. It really hurts when I touch it and it gets worse when I cough or sneeze. What could this be? Should I be worried?

I'm really concerned because every morning when I wake up, my ribs hurt, and sometimes it gets worse with each breath. It feels really unbearable, and I'm just not sure what to do since obviously, I can't stop breathing. What could be causing this, and how can I find relief?

This type of pain in the ribs that worsens with breathing could be due to inflammation of the muscles between the ribs, a condition known as costochondritis. To help alleviate the pain and inflammation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) or naproxen (e.g. Aleve) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing deep breathing exercises may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
