Google some anatomy pics of the rib muscles and you'll see what I'm saying. I really don't want to go down the road of endless doctor and hospital visits for the next few years. That's why the pain is continuing for longer than the usual 2-6 weeks. Continuing to life heavy things, like you do with renovating and child care, repeatedly strains the rib muscle so it's not getting a chance to heal. But I think this also exacerbates the pain and aggravates the torn muscle and ligament along the rib. I usually sit with my left elbow on the armrest of the chair or desk to prop my chin, which is a bad habit and posture. I think that's because there is a muscle from the shoulder that joins the 5th rib at the same place. Mine also gets worse after sitting at the computer for long periods, as others have said. The lump that I've noticed now could be an inflammation and swelling where the muscle joins the rib at the side. You know how it's natural to rub the muscle when you've strained it to relieve the pain? It's painful and tender to touch the side of the rib, but you can't 'touch the pain' along the front of the rib, which makes me think it's a muscle that attaches itself to the side of the rib, then moves into the abdomen. The pain runs along the outside of the rib from the side, then goes underneath it into the upper abdomen closer to the sternum. But the pain is worse at night when lying down. Yes, it is along the exact line of the bra wire (that some have mentioned in previous posts) and wearing one sometimes is very painful. Now, when I lay down at night, I can feel a hard lump on the 5th rib at about mid-side or just to the front of it. Looked it up and expected the symptoms to go away in a couple of weeks. I've done a bit of anatomy, so thought it was possibly a strained muscle between or along the ribs. Anyway, a few days afterwards I noticed a pain on the left rib, difficult to breathe and cough sneezing is a nightmare. I felt the strain across my upper abdomen at the time because it was really hard to lift them, move them into place, then nail them by myself. I noticed it about 3 weeks ago, after putting some big sheets of heavy masonite on the lounge room wall that I'm renovating. I've had a pain along my 5th left rib, running from mid-breast back and up at the angle of the rib to about mid-side. And all this because I am hard headed and didn't want to go the doctor about it when it first started hurting. Unfortunately, I think they may have to cut on it again because one area isn't looking any better. Then it was bandaged up and I was sent home with a different, more aggressive antibiotic and told if it didn't look any better in a day, I was to go straight to the ER. So the doctor cut the area open and sqeezed so many times, I almost passed out from the pain. The doctor couldn't give anything to numb it because the infection was so strong, it wouldn't do any good. I'm warning everyone, this is one of the most painful things I have ever experienced, this coming from someone who pulled her own tooth. The next day, I went back in and the doctor thought it looked worse so it was decided that it would have to be cut open. The doctor poked around at it, said it was cellulitus and prescribed me some agressive antibiotics and said she wanted to see me again the next afternoon. I decided I would let everyone know what I had to go through. I didn't read anybody's repost because I couldn't find them.
Everyone said they would repost when they found out what was going on in each situation. It started out the size of a BB and it's became the about the size of a half dollar coin. I read through these posts a few weeks ago when I noticed the small lump below my breast that has been there for about year, started hurting and increased in size dramatically.
