Well, I don't know if you mean from
pregnancy or not.
I am not pregnant nor have I ever been,
but my ribs hurt all of the time. I can
cough, sneeze or just laugh and knock them
out of place. That hurts like heck!
Ugh, and you cannot do anything about it
except wait until they pop back in.

Yeah, it sucks! Does it make it hard to
breath? That is the worst!

Yes! Its soooo annoying! I keep trying
to sit up really straight to make it stop
hurting but then I get tired and lean back
and it hurts again. Its an endless cycle
of pain. Haha

My physical therapist gave me this little
"excercise" that may help.
You take a crazy deep breath. Then you
blow it out as slowly as you can. I
mean, blow it all out! You will feel like
you have to take a breath when you still
have a ton to blow out, but stick with it.
It is suppose to get out the bad air
that can hang around in your lungs for
years and expand your lungs so it is
easier to breath. I think it is suppose
to help with the pain too.
Anyway, do it a bunch of times but take a
break and breath normally in between.

Ribs Hurting Posted: 08-29-04 17:31pm
I have dealt with my ribs hurting for a
long time too the point of it hurts to to
even function, got no sleep, couldnt even
move much less want to breathe. I
finallly went to the doctor over a year
ago for them. I have chronic inflamation
of the rib bones which could lead to
arthritis eventually. They had me on
200mg of celebrex a day and 500mg robaxin
at night but now I cant take cause om
preggers and so I just get to suffer
horribly until I have this baby and can go
back on my meds. Go see your doctor and
see what they say. Dahlia and baby
surprise!!
