has anyone here ever gotten like a stabbing pain in your rib cage area? i went to tyhe school nurse and she said that its probably my muscles??? i dunno...im just wondering cuz im sick of the pain...ihave to wait a day or 2 before i go to the doctor! blah

growing pains possibly. or your ribs have caught a bit of tissue between them, that might be causing it. nothing you can do but wait.

or it could be a psychic attack.

i get that once and a while.

it's AIDS.

anti!!!! *stranggles him*

i'm sorry to have to tell you this but...you're going to die

i'm just kidding. you're cute, so i'm sure you're healthy.

It sounds like mild asthma or bronchitis (which everyone has but it doesn't always manafest) your brachia close up and get stuck in a vacuum, you have no nerves in your lungs but your body interprets the problem and lets you know with a stabbing pain when you take a deep breath, it feels like you can't breath past a certain point.

To fix it, go somewhere with fairly clean air, blow all the air out of your lungs (letting the last bit drift out) then with your hands on your head (this opens your lungs up) take a deep breath and refill your lungs, it might take a few attempts to fill them right up but when you're finished the pain will be gone

I had that many times in life, and it was very painful. It turned out to be cause by stress. I also had shortness of breath to go along with it, but not all the time.
