Rib pain

[Mummabear10032021]

Hi has anyone else ever experienced pain in ribs , radiating from the back? I'm nearly 4 months postpartum and the past 2 days I have this dull, aching pain in my ribs, on both sides. My neck and all down the sides of my spine is sore too. It goes away when I take a nurofen. I'm really worried. I did go back to the gym at 2 months pp so maybe I'm overdoing it a bit? Has this ever happened to anyone and it went away? Scared I'm going to suffer with this for a long time now

Poor form? Lifting too heavy?
What do you do at the gym?
Did you plank?

If you're worried, see a doctor. Nobody here will be able to tell you what's wrong, even if they've experienced similar. It's most likely just poor form when you're exercising, or poor posture outside the gym, but we can't know from what you tell us here.

If it persists for more than 2 weeks see a GP. Physio may help if it is muscular.

I had costocondritis from planking, the ab muscles are tiny and do not need much work to feel them, when I first did it I thought I had popped my ribs after. It went after a couple of weeks.

Could it be intercostals? I've had all sorts of pains and they all go away so there's no reason to think it won't. Or it might be something more. But bodies can be good at resolving stuff too.

Hello, has anyone ever successfully treated their postnatal anxiety/depression without medication? I had a baby 4 months ago and I'm on and off suffering a bit. It's more anxiety than depression. I'll be fine for a few weeks and then I'll have a really bad week. I suffered really bad during my pregnancy and after I gave birth but improved a few weeks after that. Some days it creeps back in. I don't want to go on medication. Anything that would help? Thanks
