The pain in this location can be considered orthopedic consultation to rule out the existence of local soft tissue lesions or injuries, commonly due to strains, sprains and contusions, or local violence injuries, resulting in pain after local injury. Another condition is the repeated external force, repeated stimulation of heavy lifting, or excessive labor, which may cause chronic damage to the local soft tissue and lead to pain in this location. Once the rib cage is damaged or lesioned, it may also cause local pain. You should first register for an orthopedic consultation and ask an orthopedic surgeon to examine local radiographs or even CT to rule out local soft tissue and bone related lesions. If these lesions have been ruled out, you can register for a medical or surgical consultation.
