Trying to decide if I need to go to the doctor. I have a wicked pain in my rib cage area but know its not a broken rib. Just trying to figure out if its worth a doctor trip. Hurts like hell and can barelly lift the baby. Its been about a week of dealing with it but it has not improved. Could it be a pulled muscle for that long? Or a tear? Its driving me nuts and ruining my sleep but I HATE going to my doctor takes way too long.

If its a broken or fractured rib they can do nothing and the main symptom of a broken or fractured rib you did not list ....... Having trouble breathing is a big symptom ..... i think you may as you eluded to have a strain or a pull .... when you try to pick an item up all the muscles work together and if one is hurt it can make picking anything up hard ..... also you will be very uncomfortable until it starts to heal ......

also just started hurting in the back behind shoulder blade but thats probably just a knot from changing movements to avoid pain

Sounds muscular.

Guess we could start a webmd thread. (Wish I could help, but doc is just a nickname)

If you have decent insurance I would go see the Bone Cracker you can pop ribs out and it has those very symptoms a couple pops and your good as new.

What were you doing when this occurred, any idea?

No clue what I was doing I lifted 2 days before it started so I doubt it was from that. Think I might have to man up and go to the dr. Thanks for the info.
