I thought I could stop worrying about my rib cage pain. I had an ultrasound and a mammogram done, and it all turned out great. Then, when I was riding along in our cat I suffered long stretched out like pain on the sides of my rib cage. I went to search more about this concern of mine, and I was shocked.
More information here But wait this information is more about my concerns . Pain under right rib cage information.
I have now found out my rib cage concerns could be anything from digestion problems, or it could be pleurisy. It talks about liver, to kidney concerns, even talks about Lupus. I am trying not to worry before I know what is really wrong, but will be following up with my doctor soon.
Hope all is well with you all.
pleurisy is very common in our family. We have learned to live with it.
Thank you Ghostwriter for commenting.
May God bless you, hope everything in fine.
Thank you tiada for stopping by. i am better!
Consider that stress can compromise your immune system; with that in mind, it should be clear that stressing out over your health is counter-productive. Be proactive, stay informed…
Thank for such good advice bro.
Until you know what to worry about, it is too early to worry…
As Carol said, rib pain can also be from fibromyalgia.
However, I’d like to tell you about my last experience. I don’t know what you experienced was the same as what I experienced a few days ago. The pain begins at the right side of the rib cage, then the next day is felt on the right back, and continues to the front, then extends to the spine and shoulder blades right and left. Every time I move the pain jerks and my arms until the fingers lose power, and also shortness of breath and pain in the chest.
The therapy that I did was a specific Indonesian therapy which was called “kerokan”, that is by the method of scratching while pressing the affected part or the entire back; the gap of the ribs, sides of the spine and other important parts. The parts of the body that will be scraped are made of balm or coconut oil (or olive) or mixed with them before scraping using the edge of a coin or other relatively small and blunt object – do it until the scraped parts become dark red. Immediately after the therapy, my body feels much better.
Thank you Albert, but be careful, you do not want a heart attack. My pain mainly is on both sides of my rib-cage, but more on the right side. Now it is much better, but going to be careful.
Yes, I’ll be very careful with my heart. So glad to know that you have been much better, LaJenna.
Rib pain can also be from fibromyalgia. Good luck and try to relax.
Thank you Carol, and you could be right, but it sure hurts at times.
I hope you feel better and that there is nothing serious.
Anyway, do not worry about what you googled … because well, there is a “joke” going on that whenever symptoms you googled would always be linked to one of these:
– death
– cancer
– heart problem
Of course I’m not saying you should ignore totally, if you’re still worried then maybe you should do a thorough checkup?
Thank you alibb for yout insightful comment
