Sore to touch rib cage

My problem is at my left flank side I think the 10th last rib connected to your sternum, when I touch, press or rub the lowest part of the 10th rib (waistline).. it hurts like sharp pins and sore, inch in lenght and size, after a day my right flank develop the same but milder.

It doesn't hurt when breathing/deep breathing, eating, laughing, stretching or even sleeping on that side, when i'm not touching it, it feels burning or like something stuck in my ribs.

Does anyone know this or have the same experience???

      Thanks for your suggestion. My pain/discomfort comes and goes and appears to be in direct relation to my back. I've seen a doc twice and each time they've found no issues. I have no other symptoms either.

      Regards

    Hi

    I'm sorry your dealing with this.

    I used to work with doctors in a hospital.

    I now see a naturopath. He knows within 10 minutes what's wrong with me. He knows the human bodies needs.

    If you search one out no one need charge over $100 for first visit. If they do find one that doesn't.

    I paid $90 my first visit and now I pay $52 for quick answers and he gets me over my problem swiftly.

    Hope this helps!

    I have had a hard bulge at the tip of my short rib on the left side for sometime now.

    It is very painful to the touch, from there it is excruciating for up to 2 hrs! I have never broken that rib or any others.

    My pain specialist had exrays and a sonagram done but found nothing? It is to painful sleeping on my left side.

    Should I see an Orthopedic surgeon?
