What Causes Tender Spot Below The Nipple?
I have had a very local pain the size of a quarter about 4 inches below my right nipple that started about 4 days ago and does not seem to be getting better. I can poke the spot gently and it hurts. When I take a deep breath and my rib cage lifts it hurts. I cant t exercise and do sit ups or butterflies with 15lb weights like I am used to doing.
