Asthma with rib cage pain
Has anybody experience rib cage pain for weeks after asthma attack. Is it possible to have rib cage pain that won't go away after asthma attack a month ago. I use the heating pad to help me with it, but the pain comes back. Thank you.
Thanks Spirit3. 6 mths!...and mine was 2 months which is nothing compared to yours. At least now I know that it is normal and something to be expected.
Yes I have had this, I keep getting told it's normal. It happens after asthma attack; I'm recovering from pneumonia and was told "oh yes, if there's pleurisy you could have that for a good 6 months!" sigh. If someone else gets better results please share!!!

If the rib pain is after cold/flu attack then it is possible you are getting infections that are travelling to the pluerisy (might be spelt wrong) which is causing the pain.
I get pain that seems to wrap around my chest and feels like someone is squeezing me - however I don't have true asthma just very similar symptoms from acid reflux. Our other members should be able to give you their experiences and symptoms with true asthma attacks.
