Suggest Remedy For Pain And Soreness Around Rib Cage In Pregnancy
I am 29 wks pregnant with twins, my ribs werealready sore from spreading. Two days ago I sneezed, heard a pop followed by severe pain in my left side of rib cage that radiatated to the back. Could barely walk, sit pr lay down without pain. Day two seemed to be better, but woke up today, day three, and it is worse. Spasms everytime I more, can not take a deep breath, terrible pain. What should I do? I know drs can t do much for a strain or broken rib, so is itvworth going in....

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The only benefit you might gain is pain management, and possibly even a brace. As you are pregnant, your chest cavity and rib cage need to healthy to allow healthy expansion of the rib cage. For this reason, you will require a healthy rib cage and so a doctors attention will be required.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
