Fiddleman 4,376 Posted August 9, 2013 Hi - I used to get something like your description pretty frequently around month 6-8 where it would throb and ache around the rib cage, especially at the bottom. My doctor basically said it is Costochrondritis (inflammation):http://www.patient.info/health/Costochondritis.htmDoes this sound like something you might be dealing with? I think it was caused by a lot of stress on the body ligaments and such from cross fit workouts. Running 5k and 10k every other day also aggravated the condition. I stopped running so much (now about 5-7 miles a week max), but am pretty tough on my self in terms of other physical activity. Do you work out a lot? If so, you might consider this condition.Once I increased the Omega 3s to super level (3-6 g a day), the rib cage pain subsided and does not make a guest appearance in my body very often any longer. Pan medicine that controls inflammation (NSAID) can also manage the pain levels. However, I do think Omega 3 is the supplement that really helped manage this on a regular basis. I do not need to take inflammation relaed pain meds like IBU any longer ( was dosing around 800 mg).Agree with others about going to the doctor soon...
