Pain symptoms under the ribs, especially similar to the feeling of pain in the fork, first consider whether it is spasmodic pain, for example, cold stimulation, fatigue stimulation or traumatic stimulation will cause sudden spasm or chronic spasm of soft tissues under the ribs, such as muscles, fascia, etc., thus showing the pain feeling like a fork. In some patients with minor rib fractures, the broken end of the fracture will stimulate the surrounding soft tissue after chest activities, causing spasms and cramps in the muscles and fascia, thus inducing side-stitch-like pain, especially in middle-aged and elderly people. Osteoporosis is a disease in which ribs show fractures once subjected to slight external force. Therefore, local radiographic examination should be performed promptly to rule out related diseases and timely targeted treatment should be carried out.
