    Omg always.. It feels like my bottom rib constantly.. Comets anxiety, that's how I know if my body is anxious even if my mind isn't.. That and I get a pain under my left armpit.

      I work as a chef and im wondering if its muscle damage rather than anxiety because its always in the same place and after a hard day of chopping and lifting etc.

    I have the same pain! Left rib and armpit! I've had so many tests. Nothing found. I guess it's part of anxiety. So strange!

    Yes, although it's pretty much there all the time lately. I even had a CT scan of the area and chest xray. But nothing found. So it must be the anxiety, although I'm not fully convinced.
