10 Symptoms of Costochondritis

Symptom #5: Pain in Ribs
We often don’t feel our ribs. Their job is quite passive so we don’t really call upon them much. We tend not to feel pain or other sensations from them, although they can become quite sore should we experience an impact.
Pains in the ribs are more common among people with costochondritis, though. Patients are likely to feel pains in the 4th, 5th, and 6th ribs, specifically. It can leave patients reluctant to get involved with activities out of fear of hurting themselves more. Speak with a doctor and they may be able to prescribe something to help relieve the pain.
