Rib ache left side

[welsh12]

I have rib ache under left breast sometimes around the back had a chest x ray recently nothing out of ordinary I have RA well controlled. Mentioned it to Gp they had no idea. Rheumatology not concerned due to low inflammation. I will go back to GP but always seem to be there it gets wearing I have hip pain on left side too ongoing issue over the years. I do pilates and also wonder whether I have irritated it. I have switched to non wired bra as was uncomfortable. Any one any ideas. I have stiffness in left shoulder long standing seen osteopath and physio exercises it's better but never fully not stiff.. ah it goes on.

There are a number of nerves that run between each rib, and sometimes these can get caught and cause pain. Could it be that?

Yes thanks will monitor think the RA does get on my nerves in more ways than one.

I have problems with my ribs. If I bend in a certain way it feels as if my lower ribs are trying to concertina- painfully, and I never know what's the 'wrong' way until I do it. It gets a bit colourful language-wise on those occasions.
