Wake Up With Pain In Ribs And Back
Posted: 12-12-05 00:11am

I'm 22 years old, and wake up in terrible pain in my ribs and back. It hurts in inhale or move. When I get up, it goes away in about 10 mins after I walk around. I was sleeping on an old mattress, and got a new one - it still happens! Now, my neck is aching and shoulders feel tight.
What could this be? Could it be more serious that uncomfortable sleep positions? What can I try to eleviate the pain?

I'm not sure if this matters, but I had my gallbladder out 2 years ago. I really do not suffer from any normal side effects - I can eat mostly anything, with the exception of mcdonalds, without trouble.

Please offer any advice! Thanks

Christie,

have you tried a tempu-pedic mattress, I understand they are great. I'm saving now to buy one, they are very pricey. Sounds like you could have some disc trouble in your thorasic spine, could be a couple trips to a chiropracter could fix. I would see a doctor about it and if they suggest some imaging studies definitely get them, pain is your body saying "something is wrong here". Good luck
