Have you been checked for MS? I have pain in my left side, every evening, it starts at about 6pm and lasts a few hours. It feels like overstretched muscle pain from inner corner of bottom left ribs and extends to my side. In researching it I've read MS has a similar symptomatic pain that's known as MS hug. I haven't been tested yet, and maybe I'm completely off, but doesn't hurt to rule out! My sister also had a similar pain on her right side for years every night and as of a few months ago she hasn't had it anymore. They never figured it out, but at least it's gone!
Hi rib pain can be attributed to gerd/acid reflux.
Not everyone gets the typical symptoms...rib pain is a symptom as well as diff in breathing.
U may want to ask ur dr about this and stop by the gerd forum and read some of the threads as well as the health pages.
good luck

Prolotherapy will take care of it...homeopathics for it are:
calc.phos 6X /kali phos 6X (for nerves)/silicea and calc fluor 6X.

i am not overweight i am in my weight range. the pain is in my upper rib area all the way across it always happens at night. it is a really sharp pain and it feels like intense pressure trying to push my ribs outwards.
Hello neighbor! (I'm from Yelm.) If the pain is in the lower half of your ribcage, the pain is probably from a GI (upper gut) origin..This can be anything from trapped gas, a hiatal hernia, gallbladder problems, an intususseption (? on spelling) (small intestine telescopes partially within itself), gastric valve problems, liver problems, or even kidney stones...Without knowing if there are any other related symptoms or where the pain is exactly and what kind of pain (sharp, dull, constant, pressure, intermittent, etc) and if anything relieves it, it is difficult to tell...For example, have you noticed if it occurs if you eat just before you go to bed? If so, is it related to what you eat? (Like ice cream or something with a high fat or dairy content.) ...Are you more than 30 lbs overweight? (Higher chance of hiatal hernia if so.) Does the pain increase when you take a breath in? Have you ever had spinal problems or fractures? -So many questions!...~MM
Is it your upper rib cage or lower rib cage area? Just the front or in the back as well?
its across my whole ribs not just one side
Right or Left side? In case I don't get back today on your post .. was thinking gallbladder??

i have slept in diffrent places and the pain is still there it just doesnt happen very often
my mom had the same pain that i have so i think that is weird to
Maybe someone playing voodoo on you? Just kidding!!!!!! It could be a pinched nerve. My friend has a sensitive spot since he had surgery near his ribs. He gets the same pain you mention. His doctor said it can be referred pain, meaning it is actually starting elsewhere like an out of whack shoulder...the nerves run along the rib cage then into the spine so this is logical.
Maybe the common sense thing to do is try sleeping elsewhere for few nights and see if the pain is still there. Before I bought my new mattress, my hip and back would kill if I laid on the old one...so I slept on the couch.. magic..no pain...but took me nearly a year to figure out I needed a new mattress...d'oh!
Anyways.. there are two ideas which I hope help you in the quest to solve the pain problem!
Cheers!
