Pains in right shoulder and right side of my ribcage...

[Saeus]

Hi I was wondering I have pains in my right side of my shoulder and right side of my ribcage feels like a sharp cold knife going into my body when I breathe, when I lie down is worse I hold my breath to move around and get comftable, I use deep heat to ease the pain it works a little bit, I only get it the first 2days of my period then the pain go's away..any help or suggestions??

I was also getting pain in my shoulder and rib cage. Years ago I went to GP who referred me to hospital. It turned out to be wind. I just kept indigestion chews in my bag and it worked ok. However 15 years later same pain which turned out to be gallstones! I'm now waiting to have my gallbladder removed. Try some rennies indigestion chews but meanwhile see your GP to get referred for investigations! I had camera down into stomach and up into bowel a couple of times and they couldn't see anything wrong. Eventually I was in hospital having Surgery and took the pain. I was sent for ECG in case it was my heart and an abdominal scan which showed the gallstones. It could be a number of things ranging from wind to heart to gallstones. Hopefully it'll be wind but you need it investigated just in case it's not!

Thank you I'm going to see the docs 2moro, the pain went away on my 3rd day of my monthly period, it only comes when I'm due for my monthly and it go's away next few days,sometimes I think it's like getting cramps when you have your monthly except it's pain in shoulder/chest and under ribcage area..I thought maybe a pinched nerve but we shall see..thanks again
