Burning bruised feeling

I'm a ftm, 36 weeks 2 days and I've been experiencing a burning irritated bruised feeling inside and out on the right side of my ribs just a bit under my breast. It feels like my ribs are being pushed out, I can't even touch that area as it hurts a lot, has anyone else gotten this before?

I have that i have had it since around 20 weeks. If your blood pressure is fine and everything else is ok its called rib flare. It is horrible, theres nothibg you can do to get rid of it you just have to put up with it. I take codein it gets that bad at at times. I cant wear any kind of bra any more and im uncomfortable in every position. Its horrible i cry every day cause of it.

I had the same thing the other day I'm 36 +4 wks, the rib seemed to be popping out of place and I was 8n so much pain every time I yawned or took a deep breath I was in agony, but the next time the rib seemed to go back to normal and the pain was alot less and two days after the pain was gone all together so it might have just been the position the baby was lying in

Sorry my phone double posted. It can also be the baby's position or stretching from your growing stomach definitely talk to your Dr though.
