Pain at bottom of rib cage

[RagamuffinPuffling]

What could this be?! I'm waiting for an ultrasound. Only symptom is like a dull ache mainly on the left side but sometimes it goes across. Ribs and breastbone are sore when pressed. I do a lot of heavy lifting with my toddlers. Obviously I'm freaking myself out Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Iv been getting this for 4 years. I can’t tell you what it is though as my scan came back clear back then. Iv just been fobbed off with it since.

I've had this for years. Scans come back clear. I think it's costochondritis.

Thanks both I did wonder if it could be that. That's so annoying that you've not gotten to the bottom of it @Saladd0dger! Because it's not pleasant!

Do you have big breasts? I do and I get horrendous rib pain if I don't put a bra on early enough in the day. I think the weight of them affects my ribs but that is just my own opinion on how it makes me feel.

They're not massive but big enough (E cup) and I have switched to bralettes rather than bras in lockdown....

I find I am comfiest in sports bras now. Perhaps try something more supportive and see if that helps? I think our ribs come up higher than we think and I have to actively lift mine up and off my ribs. Oh the glamour...

I've had this for years, comes and goes and can spend 6 months in one area, then moves to another area in my abdomen. I've always put it down to either wind because I drink a lot of fizzy drinks or a physical symptom of stress/anxiety

@GreyGardens88 I am under a lot of stress and have other symptoms of anxiety - I just can't believe it would produce this kind of pain but maybe it can! It's crazy how what's going on in your head can manifest physically

I have the same issue. Bear in mind im tall,reasonably athletic, ideal BMI so not over weight. Its more obvious when i sit down. I have this feeling that something is fighting to get out from under my ribs on the lower edges. Also i get occasional spot sensations of low level pain in various places of ribcage but i can press quite happily anywhere on my tummy and on my ribs and not feel a thing. Its almost like phantom pain. It isnt sharp pain that makes you jump,its almost like just a sensation. I have convinced myself now that after several visits to GP, its related to stress,,ie the discomfort isnt real,its imagined but very convincing.

I'm awaiting a scan for pain below my ribcage. Particularly on my right hand side. It hurts on and off through the day and then at night I feel a sensation of pressure in that area too. Sometimes it feels like a vibration as well as a pressure.
Doctors said it could be gallstones. Or biliary reflux so prescribed omeprazole.

I had costochondritis and it was more stabby than achy.

You'd be surprised how anxiety can manifest, as literal, real, symptoms. I'm always shocked when I narrow a pain down to stress rather than physical ailment/injury

Do any of you guys have vitamin deficiencies? I always have no folate and low ferritin and vitamin D deficiency. I just presumed the pain I was getting was to do with that after a while of the doc not been interested

I have pain in my left ribs which I think is muscular from months of working at the kitchen table. It hurts when I twist to the right. I need to get my work to courier me a proper chair.

I get this at times, often get pain in the chest and its often after coughing a lot. It's always the ribs on the right hand side. No idea what causes it, maybe my allergies that make me cough, been coughing since December. I do have low folate, also peri-menopause age which you get lots of wierd symptoms.

@KoalasandRabbit I'm also at the peri stage!

Low vitamin D can cause rib pain
