    Hi Ellie, welcome!!

    I do not have an IUD, but I do have the rib pain. I hate it. Along with bloating; belching; sluggish digestion; achy shoulders, back and hips; migraines; forever-pms. No energy. Really struggling at times.

    What are your other symptoms, if you don't mind sharing?

    Take care,

    Sara

    Hey There, Ellie...

    I am in the FULL-BLOWN stage of post-menopause, which is thee final stage of this TSUNAMI! That being said, I don't have an IUD, yet I do experience rib cage pain, often. My relentless rib cage pain started roughly two years ago, and can be attributed to the DREADED menopause, like many of my symptoms, it randomly makes its debut at thee most INOPPORTUNE times! I encourage you to use a warm compress directly on the pain to ease it, it helps immensely. That being said, be well, my menopausal sistah!!
