What is the Rib muscle?

There is no "rib muscle." Ribs are bones attached to the vertebral column in the back and the sternum anteriorly. There are muscles attached to the ribs - several, in fact. In between the ribs are the internal and external intercostal muscles, there are the pectoral muscles, the serratus anterior and serratus ventralis, the latissimus dorsi also attaches to the ribs. Internally, the diaphragm attaches to the inferior ribs. Many of the strap muscles of the back attach to the ribs. There are others as well.

What does it mean if your ribs only hurt sometimes?

i don't know but my ribs hurt soooooo bad i hooope i get an answer too well if your ribs hurt when you run then that's what it felt like for my knees...then you have to go to orthopedics...that's where you do excercizes to help out your ribs or knees or anything that hurts. i did it and now the pain in my knees is gone, but when you stop orthropedics then you have to continue on with the excercized...and if it hurts really bad then you might'be pulled something by your ribs. and if it hurts through your ribs down to your hip then you probably definitely pulled a muscle, but anyways i think you should really go to a doctor.
