lower rib pain

[Wales1965]

this question may have been asked numerous times before but....i know when i am due a flare up because my lower ribs (all the way around to the spine) feel as if they are contracting and being squeezed - so that it is hard to take a breath and the ache is draining. I am just curious because we seem to have similar symptoms sometimes and quite different other times

Hello there,I have this problem to and it is very difficult to cope with.Warmth does help I have a masage seat that helps alot especially when I get up on the morning and i am very stiff.Out of all the different systems we all experince this one reaccurrs more often.

that explains why I have problems with my bras. It helped when I took the wiring out but find the sports bras much more comfortable. i feel quite dizzy with it today though which is unusual and 'vacant' not quite here on this planet and soooo tired. but house needs a clean and a pile of washing to do so I had better get going

I have this problem too Wales, mine is made worse as I suffer with Lymphoedema following breast cancer treatment and have a lot of fluid build up too. I woke up with that woolly kind of feeling this morning but it has got a bit better throughout the day. Maybe have a chat to your GP and they can give you something to help with the pain and discomfort. Much love, Angela xx

Yes, mine hurt all the time.

Nothing takes this pain away for me. Mine is all the rib area front and back. It hurts when i breathe and when it flares really bad it makes me sick as the pain is horrendous. My gp does nothing to help as she said as i cant take ibruprofen theres nothing else will work.

Sorry i couldnt help you,

hugs, kel xxxx

sorry to hear about your pain but good to hear im not alone. The doctors all looked at me as if i was making it up. Some said it was caused by a back injury others that it was digestive but no answers in treating it. I haven't been able to wear a bra or anything that is close fitting for ages. Just wondering what I can wear really as the DWP say I (we) are fit to work. Anyone know of a mattress testers job going spare?
