What Causes Terrible Pain Under The Center Rib Cage After Doing A Few Sit Up S?
I get terrible pain/cramping under center rib cage/breast bone after I do a few sit ups. Feels like something s twisted and causes severe pain. Helps to expand chest/arch backward. Stomach not in shape but can run a few miles no problem. I have had for a year or so and just stopped doing them. Any ideas?
It can be a rib injury . I would suggest you to get x ray to check that. Till that time I would suggest you to take Brufen for pain relief and also hot water fomentation and Diclofenac ointment.
