The phenomenon of needle-like pain on the right side of the ribs in female patients can be caused by a number of conditions, such as direct external force on the right side of the ribs in women, injury to the right intercostal muscle, or intercostal neuritis, costochondritis, or local fasciitis, which can produce this pain. In women with a rib fracture caused by direct external force to the right side of the rib cage, the patient may also have localized pinprick pain with significant local swelling, subcutaneous bruising, positive local pressure pain, and a positive thoracic squeeze test. An X-ray of the ribs can be taken to make a clear diagnosis. When a woman has this condition, she should seek medical attention as soon as possible, and the doctor will be able to cure it by giving clear and correct treatment.
