When the rib joints become irritated, it can give you sharp pain that often seems like it’s coming from the chest, although it can affect the front or back of the body. The ribs are joints with synovial fluid. On the back they attach to the thoracic spine, that are more flexible. On the front, they connect to cartilaginous structures. Our rib cage needs flexibility to move to help you breathe.
If you injure the joints through a trauma, you’re going to know this has happened and unfortunately there’s not a lot that can be done. It takes time but they will heal on their own. If you spend a lot of time hunched over, you’re stretching the ligaments and muscles, which puts unnecessary strain through the rib joints. If we’re immobile and not moving properly, sometimes these rib joints are going to get irritated.
