Pain!! ??? Help
One of my twin boys loves to lodge by my right ribs and it is so freaking painful!!!!????. Last night I woke up in anguish and tears from it. I’ve tried putting something cold on the spot, using warm packs and warm baths as well as rubbing on the area to get him to move. He’ll move and then go back.
I just got back from the ER and it’s acute bronchitis. I had to do a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia so I’m thankful it never got to that stage. I’m here dealing with a fever and I’m so tired and fatigued but I gotta be up with my 22 month Old for a few more hours till Hubby gets back. With the coughing and the rib pain I was desperate so I went in. Btw, I second @meesh, your profile pic looks gorgeous ?
Ouch! That sounds incredibly painful.
You’re in the home stretch momma! It won’t be much longer till those little guys will be in your arms and this will be but a distant memory. Hugs!
By the way, I noticed your profile pic has changed and it looks like a maternity photoshoot. You look marvellous! Would love to see more. ?
My OB told me the same thing, there’s nothing she can recommend for the rib pain. But if it’s really bad I can take Tylenol. She also suggested rubbing on my side to get the baby there to move.
I had a cold two weeks ago that made me listless and uncomfortable as hell which was compounded by the rib pain. But the cold is gone so the pain is more tolerable.
How is the rib pain now? Any better? I think I’ve fractured a rib. My coughing got worse so I’m trying to get in a visit with my PCP. My OB told me there was nothing I could do about the rib pain, would just have to bear it smh. I can’t move in certain positions due to the pain and it’s worse when he starts kicking or pressing up against it. Hoping your pain isn’t as bad anymore!!!
Yeah when this pain started I just felt like throwing in the towel and saying, ok I’m done now?.
I’ve been dealing with this for months now. This little one bundles up on my right side and when he’s breech, it’s his head that is on my ribs. Last night I started feeling like a burning and stretching pain in between right front and back rib and realized that he probably went back transverse and his feet is pushing on the rib. It is painful and my only relief is to stretch out on my right side. So happy to be in the final stretch but also want to be done now ?
@Meesh, thank you! Will post some.
@MrsMCG, oh I’m so glad they got to the bottom of it??. I hope you start to feel better soon now you’re getting more targeted treatment.
I’m feeling much better with the help of hot packs, warm baths, Tylenol PM and Vick’s rub.
