Pain At Top Of Rib Cage. I have been pushing in just below the middle of ribcage and feel like a cartilage type thing. Any activity that makes the pain in your chest area worse should be avoided until the inflammation in your ribs and cartilage has improved.

Intermittent tight chest with pain under breast on rib cage thought it was gallbladder but pressed on bone and it hurts a lot. There are muscles there and apparently the crunches are exercising those muscles.

Overuse injuries from overstretching your back muscles and ligaments. Pain under the right rib cage can range from a dull throbbing generally due to heartburn or indigestion to sharp stabbing pains indicative of an injury or an impending heart attack. Assuming you are doing a reasonable workout the soreness is ok and will disappear on its own. There are muscles there and apparently the crunches are exercising those muscles.
