What Does Sore Rib Cage With Painful Armpit Indicate?
HI. I just got over a bronchitis. I was coughing for almost two weeks. Now my rib cage back and front are very sore. I could hardly move at times. The pain goes to my armpits and is hard for me to lift my arms. Is this a broken or fractured rib? Or just damage muscle? Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the cough symptoms since months then it needs to be sent for investigation now because it may not be bronchitis here x-ray of chest is must, it is not the fracture of rib for sure, hope this information helps.
