[|Human|] what might cause mild pain/discomfort in mid back just below rib and around rib to side? Discomfort began mid October. Was uncomfortable for about 3 or 4 days in mid December and since then has been mild - just doesn t feel right . No other symptoms.
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing a brief history of your illness. Since you have discomfort since last October I will recommend you to meet a physician and take an x-ray to see if the lungs and ribs are fine with their anatomical and physiological state. As even the muscle spasm will not stay for such a long time. If all fine with the x-ray then you need to perform some breathing exercises and costal breathing exercises while placing the hand at the painful area. A physical therapist will be of great help to ease your pain and get strength in the respiratory muscles. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
