What could this pain in my rib mean?

Question

For a week now, I've had discomfort in my upper ribs when i sit or lay down. It feels like something is putting pressure on my ribs. Yesterday, it got worse and I started to feel more pressure when I tryed to take a deep breath. My ribs hurt when I touch them and when i lay on them, or ont my other side. I didn't bang it or hurt it in any way so, what could it be??

Answer 1

Are you sure you didnt knock them , even a little? if its a broken rib, theres not too much can be done, fixes itself in about 5 weeks if you take care.  Your symptoms are the same as when I broke a rib and it can happen without you hardly knowing. If unsure though, you should go 4 an x-ray...
