I have pain in the rib cage area when I breath and also just to touch the area under and around the area of my bra the riibs are very sore to touch. I just got over a very bad case of congestion and a very bad cough. I have had this pain before where it is very sore to touch but never had the pain when I breath and also for this long. I am also on predisone and I took 6 rounds of antibotics. I am taking prevacid as I have thought I might have stomach lining problems or possibly an ulcer. I hurt all around from the front of the rib cage all around through my back where my bra comes together. betty
