Update: Pain in the ribs

A few days ago I posted about having a pain in my ribs and wondering if it was Baby pushing on me already. (obviously not since baby is not up there yet)

Over the past few days, it has become swollen and actually felt warm to the touch, as well as becoming more and more uncomfortable and painful.

I went to the doctor today and she said that as joints/muscles are loosening, sometimes things get out of place.  So one of my ribs somehow got out of whack and the muscles have contracted and tightened around it, making knots upon knots. 

The doctor is sending me to physical therapy to try to work out the knots.  I called today to set up my first appointment...and of course, there are only a few who work with pregnant women, and the earliest they could get me in was JUNE 5th!  Guess I'll be doing my own research on stretches I can do until then...

    Ouch! That sounds extremely painful. Hopefully the PT helps.

    If you can I would go see a chiropractor, they can probably see you sooner as there are many who specialise in pregnancy related issues, and they should be able to put the rib back and stop the pain, then the PT can help keep in where is should be.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    My muscles got so "tense " it pulled a rib out of place...The dr gave me Flexiril and it really helped...I also slept with a heating pad on that side....GL!!!!

    I was going to suggest a chiro too. They can get that worked out for you with a couple visits!
