What Causes Cramps In The Rib Area Of A Breast Cancer Survivor?
What can cause cramps in your ribs? I am on alot of asthma inhalers including a nebulizer which I use about every four to six hours. The pain is like a cramp and goes away soon after it starts. I have had breast cancer and had both breasts removed but they did find that two or three nodes were positive for cancer. My fear is that it may have spread even though I was told I was cancer free. Should I be worried?

Hello,
It is unlikely related to bread cancer. Inflammatory conditions like costochondritis must be ruled out. However, you can go for a mammogram to look for recurrence even though it is unlikely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
