I gave birth 13 weeks ago to my second
child. I have just started experiencing
pain in my ribs. (Breast bone that feels
bruised and now spread to my back ribs). I
also have pain under my right arm pit and
to the side of my breast. (I'm breast
feeding).
My chest also feels quite tight (not
worryingly so).
Could it be that my ribs are moving back
to their pre-pregnancy shape?

similliar experience Posted: 03-04-08 12:40pm
im not sure what it is honestly, but i
have a very similliar problem... my chest
and ribs feel like someone is pushing on
them and beating them and my upper back
and rear rib area hurts too.... but the
pains in the side of my breast dont hurt
near as bad and have yet to hurt when my
back and chest do...
i feel the onset to the pain as somekind
of a pressure,disconfot deal, and i know
the pain is going to start within a few
minutes and i start trying to stretch it
out.... for some reason it seems to
temporarily help...
but with mine, it comes and goes... every
few days... sometimes a few times a day...
never know... but it gets to the point
that i cant pick up my son and he weighs
under 8 lbs!!
sometimes it hurts so bad that i (for lack
of a less harsh word) i vomit..... but
afterwards, it feels better... i dont
understand it, but i am curious to know if
any of this sounds familliar to you

I had that a lot, it was acid reflux.
It hurt from my ribs, to my back and
stomach, I thought I pulled a stitch. 0_0
