Does anybody have constant rib pain that just doesnt go away but plays up even worse every now and the?

I cant seem to get any relief from them at all, no meds are working.

Does anybody know what i can take?

I was tossing and turning constantly as it hurt all through the night.

(Sorry boys lol) but my bra is really hurting them.

I've got pain round the back, just where my bra line is and it hurts most of the time but is worse at times. I was really worried for a while cos I wondered what was wrong but I decided it was probably the fibro. Actually, we should probably see our doctors about things sometimes, just in case it's not fibro.

Hope someone can help us with what to take. xxx

I keep mentioning it to all my doctors and specialist but they just dont have any answers for me.

I am stumped at this so hopefully someone can help me.

I cannot take ibruprofen though because of my asthma.

Its a weird one.

Hi there i suffer with this too mildly now as i took advice from a surgeon i know and he told me when my muscles are playing up around my ribs and lungs it inflames the nerves around your ribs and he injected my 7th rib with steriod and saline so now it just plays up when fibro plays up around that area hope this helpsxx

i was taken into hospital before hand and they were gonna take out my gaulbladder but on a scan there was nothing wrong with it so they left it but it did baffle a lot of drs at first because they had never come across it before!!

Good luck hun hugs to you xx

I have the same problem on my right side. My doctor told me to take ibuprofen for two weeks. I hope the pain will go away.
