i am having pain near ribs tip. I get
this pain when I sit in forward inclined
position.. While reading a book for
example... Otherwise I am okay.. Also, I
feel fine if I change the position.
Any idea why this happens?
Thanks,
andy

Is it just at one point, or on the ends of
all your ribs?
I am having this pain at the point which
is referred to as xiphoid process or tip
in the diagram.

How old are you? When you're born a lot
of the chest bones are not fused, but
later do fuse as you grow up. Perhaps
you have a problem with that if you're of
the right age. Were you recently hit in
that area? If the pain persists, don't
mess around; go visit your doctor.

that.

Well, that threw my theory out the window.
Lol. I would give it a couple days, and
if the pain persists, go visit your
doctor.
