These alternative diseases cause comparable symptoms!

There are some diseases of the internal organs that can also cause pain in the ribs or intercostal muscles. A possible cause could be a rib contusion or rib fracture that may have damaged the nerve. However, one would also have pain at the bruise mark or fracture and possibly a hematoma and would be most likely to have had an accident before.

A further differential diagnosis is pneumothorax (collapsed lung), which is characterized by sudden stabbing pain on one side and a feeling of breathlessness. Furthermore, pneumonia can cause respiratory pain. Also pleurisy (inflammation of the pleura) causes breath-dependent, usually unilateral pain, which may decrease as the disease progresses and is usually associated with a previous or simultaneous pneumonia (pneumonia).

Furthermore, a herniated disc or spinal stenosis can cause motion-dependent pain radiating from the spinal canal.
