Rib cage pain

morning; and Yes ; Yes I have. I have had really bad pain in left side of ribs; including a 'popping ' which i thought was my rib breaking from over stretching. the pain brought me to my knees. I had xray which I had to create about as the doctor did not think necessary. To be fair Xray was clear so I asked the doctor if my symptoms could be related to hormones; to which he just laughed. I haven't been back to see him... I have also had painful left breast/ side with no reason that can be found. again I would say related to menopause.

hope this helps . take care

Yes this happens to me. I get the breast pain and then it radiates down into my rib cage area and sometimes towards my back under the shoulder blade. It's so uncomfortable.

Yes!!! I have been having this for a year. I was misdiagnosed with gerd since I get burning pain in my sternum and I'm ribs ache very tender to the touch. After having an endoscopy, full cardiac work up, x-rays the Drs all told me they werent sure what it was. So they put me on anti acids for 3 months and a anti inflammatory diet. After 3 months the pain had not gotten any better so I went and saw a different Dr since by then my regular Dr thought I was a hypochondriac . I requested a female Dr instead. I went and saw her and she said I had costochondritis more than likely brought on by stress and anxiety. Plus she did not rule out it being from hormones and peri menopause, like my regular Dr did ( who is make). So she put me on a course of anti inflammtories and lexapro and Xanax for my anxiety . It's has improved a lot though I still have the rib pain it is not as painful as before. I found that if I use cbd oil in a roll on and roll it all over my rib cage it provides great relief from the pain. Massage helps a lot too and I alternate heated packs with ice packs. Hope this helps!
