as long as it's aspirin free I can take it. I'm heading to Wal Mart soon so I'll get a small bottle.

Thanks Vicky - when it comes to medical stuff, I know you know it cuz that's what you do

Painful- does it happen to you often? I took an anti-inflamatory and it helped relieve the sharp pains.

as tylenol is not much help for swelling and inflammation.

Take Aleve or Motrin if your stomach can handle it

Google didn't help much at all - could be tons of things but it's a waste of $ for a trip to the dr. It still hurts bad. Can't lay on my side or bend over. It hurts when I cough and take a deep breath. I'll just deal, take Tylenol and hopefully it will go away soon.

At least the new carpet looks awesome

it once made me cry.

Costochondritis is an inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join with the cartilage that holds them to the breastbone or sternum.

Very possible to tear the muscles around your rib cage while doing something like that. I don't think there's much that can be done in either case except lots of Advil!

I went out one Friday night and played tennis for the first time in about three years. Later that night I woke up with a pain in my chest near the top of my ribs. The pain got worse on Saturday, and so bad on Sunday morning that I went to the ER. Turns out I had strained the tendons that connect the pectoral muscles to the rib cage. I think the condition was called Costochondritis, tho that is probably spelled incorrectly. The pain went away in about a week.

My guess would be a pulled muscle or a strained ligament. Of course, I am not in the medical field but that is my guess. I'm sure it hurts bad. I would take some Ibuprofen, use a heat pad and see how you feel tomorrow.

I would guess maybe you could pull a muscle in there or something. I hope you feel better soon
