Pain in the left side rib (where the bra straps around)

I am 28 yo, 165cm, and since yesterday I have been experience skin pain and inflammation on my left side rib. I thought it was my bra that was making me uncomfortable and stuck to my skin but then I took off the bra for 12 hours and put on another cotton bra just to see if the pain goes away. The burning sensation of the skin hasn’t gone and when I touch it lightly it burns and pains. I don’t know what it is, has anyone else experienced this before.

Underwired bras can sometimes cause pressure and soreness. If it continues ask a doctor to check the area 🙂xB

I would also give it a couple of days to see if the pain goes away. If it doesn't improve, or gets worse, see your doctor. These things can take a couple of days to ease off, 12 hours wouldn't quite be long enough to see it completely get better.
