I've had pain in my lower rib cage for the last couple days. It hurts when I breath deep, cough or try to stretch the muscles in and around my chest/stomach. I haven't really done anything strenuous or physical in the last week that would cause the pain. Anyone know what it is?

Cracked rib or pulled muscle?

I did that last night moving my dogs kennel. I pulled a muscle and have exactly the same symptoms you do. I had a relly terrible sleep last night and it still hurts. I think I'll see a doctor for some pain killers and to check out how serious it is.

Weird coincidence. I hope your okay.

pulled muscle i had the same thing last month i was just warming up for hockey and it felt funny then the next morning i had exactly that right where teh ribs and spine meet. i had the same pain for like 2 or 3 days. I just rubbed inflame away on it a bunch and it felt better.

No need. Just get some inflame away or ice hot for a few days and have someone massage it and in like two days youll feel better. It's painful shit

I've had both...if it were a cracked/broken rib, you'd know. Probably a pulled muscle.

When I broke my rib (did a five star frog splash on my friend's head going for the ball in water polo...lol), I could hear it cracking in and out of place as I leaned back and forth. Horrible, horrible feeling. Plus, doctors can't do anything about it really.
how much water do you drink?

Could be a muscle that's wrapped around your rib.  I had that one about 3 months ago.  I seriously thought I had some type of intestinal disease.

Yes its fuckin painful, you can try exteding your arms into your upper thighs to slightly stretch the spine and hopefuly release the caught muscle, it usually does the trick for me, but i wouldnt recommend pusing too hard because it could induce some kind of back injury.
