Pain in Rib-Paranoid or?

Pure

After I had my surgery on my left breast ( had it taken off and full aux dissection) I have pain in my ribs. I would stretch from the door frame and eventually the pain went away-the stretching really helped it I think. But now when I exercise hard-like I did yesterday I got the pain again.

With that said I did have a ct and mri 3 months ago after surgery and saw nothing. And the pain seems to come and go with exercise. I am wondering if this area is more sensitive  since I have surgery there? Thoughts?

it will probably come and go.

i have pains from radiation and surgery combined.. very painful sometimes.  I've talked with my onc, and she said it was most likely normal, that they'll pay special attention during scans.

hope all is well otherwise Jen.

I get all saorts of pains, they come and go, I feel something, get freaked out....it goes away. I think it is just our new life.

I get rib achy on the side that was radiated.  There's a name for it...condroiditis? Fancy name for inflammation of the tissue between your ribs.

Yeah, what Sherri said

yeah but I haven't done rads yet:( I did work out harder then I have in a long time. I am assuming it is that.

Yeah, but you have had Surgery, not that long ago, and you are pregnant!! With a little boy kicking you to all heck!

Ohh, jeeeepers...I totally forgot about boo boo baby pushing on your rib cage.  I swear, I walked around with one hand pushing on my rib cage from 7mo on.  It's like his little bum was using it for a leaning post.
