Question
Hi i have back and side pain near rib cage when i breath and move i have had it about a week Recently god over mild flu i have not injured my back could you please give me some idea what is causing the pain

Answer
Hi clair,

It sounds as if the virus caused some joint trouble that especially effected the articulation between the ribs and vertebrae.  If the joints move unevenly it will continue to aggravate.  A chiropractic evaluation can verify this and offer treatment.

Even if it stops hurting over a little time, there might be residual restriction that will cause trouble later.

Hope this helps.
