What causes pain in the rib when lying down?
Patient: my right front rib hurts when i lay down too sleep, now there is a spot in the middle of my spine under my bra line that hurts. My doctor took xrays of my rib and didn t find anything, and gave me muscle relaxers. They don t help. What could be the problem. I have been off work for 2 months so i know its not job related. Doctor: Hello,  The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain. I suggest continuing using muscle relaxant. I suggest using Baclofen three times a day. I also recommend using warm compresses for local applications.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
