muscle spasms under breast in ribs
I have muscle spasm in or around the ribs on both sides (in the front under the breast and sometimes in the back at the same horizontal position), it feels like a ball rolling, in that it switches sides. It occurs even at night during sleep, painful enough to wake me. I only know that when I relax and stretch (the side where the knot is) using several positions I have to wait till it goes away, in many cases to have it return in other places described above. What does it mean, how do I treat it. I have high blood pressure and the meds deplete my potassium so I take a prescription supplement for that. What should I be asking my doctor.
I have though the same thing but I have also had a hysterectomy! This spasm doesn't necessarily hurt, more than it is annoying, it feels just like when I was PG and baby would kick up against the ribs! The strange thing is, I did have a left inguinal hernia repair 4 weeks ago and then this started within the last 3 days. It is really weird... Been reading everyone's comments. Unfortunately I hate bananas with a passion :/ but I'm going to start taking potassium and magnesium and see if it helps. What's the part about bras? Because I have worn underwire bras all my life.

I can't wear them any more due to it setting off the spasms in ribs. No physician help fron VA.
im only 14 years old and have the exact pain and sometimes it hurts to move or even breathe. i dont think its normal for my age. but i only get if i run to long, or if i breathe to hard, or i'll just get the pain while im sitting. i dont know what to do, but it just bugs me because some of the things i want to do, i cant because im in so much pain.
Just talked to a friend who is having this too. Interestingly, my friend is a man. I think everyone else who has reported this is a woman.
I would again like to thank whoever posted the suggestion to stretch your arm over your head in the opposite direction. It really helps me.
I recently did without milk for two weeks and developed charlie horses, cramps in my feet and the terrible under the rib cramp. I started taking calcium and they eased up.
