Ugh…at least you’re not at the ED complaining of chest pain. So kudos to you!
I’ve seen a huge amount of money spent on this because nobody thought about it…$4 of lidocaine and a $5 syringe and needle injected at the CC-junction can save a $40,000 cardiac cath…
haha ONE time the pain was so bad I went to urgent care but that’s when they told me it’s just the ribs so I’ve been managing since. my post-partum posture is not helping my case 😓
Ugh, well good luck. Post partum can be a rough time. It’s normal to feel sad for a few weeks but it should be over by the time you have your 6 week post partum visit. If not, let doc know.
NSAIDS should help. Steroids injected into the junction can help if pain is bad enough, but rarely needed.
