ribcage pain freaking me out

Hi GMoon, I'm sorry you're feeling this way...I know the pain all too well.
Did you lift anything heavy? Does it hurt if you press on your ribcage?

Hey GMoon,

I hate it when my body feels off, or injured. It always causes me mental distress along with the physical. It is not a happy feeling and you have my deepest sympathy.

Pain can be caused by so many things. Sleeping wrong can cause rib pain. If when you apply pressure it increases the pain, it is probably muscular and not an internal organ. However, I am no doctor and I don't know what else your are experiencing. If it gets worse or you get other symptoms, maybe call a nurse line.

Whatever the case,do your best not to obsess. Try some mindfulness exercises. Don't Dr. Google. It will not get you anywhere!

GM.,

It is almost assuredly skeletal-muscular!

Give it a couple days of as much rest as you can. I once hurt my back from lifting a minor weight, and twisting simultaneously. I couldn't believe that I could get such an injury with a simple quick movement! A lot of times we don't even realize that we have tweaked something until a later time...and this is likely what has happened to you.

I am sure you will be feeling better soon.:)

S.C.

It's probably a muscle or gas, that's what I always tell myself.
