Yes, many people with spondylitis experience pain in their upper ribs. This pain is often due to costochondritis, which is the inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs and breastbone. Symptoms can include tenderness and sharp pains that may travel to nearby areas like the stomach or back. Coughing, deep breaths, and physical stress can worsen the pain. Some members describe it as a "crushing," "stabbing," or "searing" feeling.
