Hi there, I'm new here and have a problem. I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my second child and on Monday i went to the day case centre at my local hospital, I have servere rib pain on my left side, near my diaphragm. The pain comes and goes but reaches its peak in the evenings, sitting down makes it worse. Lying down on my back is most comfortable. The doctors basically couldn't find anything wrong with me, when they tested me in the morning the pain wasn't too bad. They tried pressing on my ribs and other physical tests but nothing caused any pain. However when the pain appears it hurts to press on my ribs and it hurts to breathe, I can't move without excruciating pain. When I try and walk I can't put my left foot down without extreme pain in my lower left rib. But the doctors were totally clueless and sent me home and told me to take paracetamol. Its a sharp intense stitch like feeling, when I'm in the car and we turn a corner it feels like my actual rib is the problem, the pain extends across the rib. My midwife thought it was rib flare but the doctors ruled it out. Has anyone had anything similar? Just seems really odd that it eases in the morning and gets worse at night, with flare ups during the day. It's also worth noting I've had gastritis since week 5 of my pregnancy but it doesn't feel like the same pain. Would really appreciate any advice/ ideas that I can take to my local GP on Tuesday. This is literally debilitating, please help :( Thanks in advance!
