<s>[INST] I have a pain on my right side in my upper rib cage. It is painful to move a certain way, to sneeze, blow my nose etc. It is not painful to breathe unless I take a deep breath. I had this same pain about a year ago, I thought maybe it was a broken rib but had x-rays that were negative. What might be causing this? Thank you [/INST] hi,thanks for providing a brief history. if it's Not a fracture then you should try to do some breathing exercises. In fact if there is muscle weakness then the pain prolongs longer. but kindly see if breathing exercises help you. if Pain still persists after a week or so then you can surely take an advice from pulmonogist and under go a scan of your lungs and see if pathological issues are there or not.?thanks </s>
