rib pain anyone?

[snowdrop]

Hi

I know the usual symptoms of anxiety but does anyone get rib pain? I keep worrying its my lungs, its as if its in between my ribs if that makes sense rather than the bone itself. And its often round the sides of my body an lower ribs

I have had it since I had the flu in Dec and keep thinking i have pleaurisy or something hideous!

it sounds like what i have now only i just have it in my right hand side. is it in both sides? if not i'm thinking maybe it's a posture or muscular thing.

Hi

No not both sides at the same time, usually one or the other but moreso on the right side, sometime it feels like a twinge, other times like a dull ache.

if your posture isnt good because your anxious and if youhav lost weight through stress your floating ribs may dig in, so stand up straight, arms and stretch as far as you can, if its wind should help, if ya ribs digging in should relieve it

I've had it for a week or so now - left side and it's really painful :blush: I'm just ignoring it though, for goodness sakes I'm fed-up of worrying over every twinge I have !! It hasn't got any worse and I'm sure it'll go eventually :lac: (< that's me there, ignoring it !)

I find that the muscles between my ribs ( intercostal muscles) are sensitised to my level of stress & muscle tension coming from my neck, back & shoulders. Hope this helps
