Your Rib Cage is Spasming ? I get pain within my Rib cage, but most of it is Due to Digestive issues.. Tho Not all..

What does this Feel Like ? Burning ? Shooting ? I get Muscle Spasms in my left shoulder blade that will shoot Pain right thru my left breast...this is Lovely {Ahem}..usually applying some moist heat will back that off..

Muscle Spasms, that have not been provoked by Over use of the muscle are usually related to a Deficiency {I believe, tho I MAY just be wrong}..Like ur Potassium is low perhaps ?? have you been Keeping well Hydrated ?? have ya got IBS-D or IBS-C ?? if ya do then ya have to drink Fluids with Electrolytes in them {Smart Water, Gatorade}..

I"m not exactly sure about rib cage spasms, but I get something that feels like a spasm in my abdominal muscles or my diaphram (sp?). It usually happens when I'm lying in bed trying to get to sleep - my muscles will start contracting involuntarily. It doesn't hurt - just feels weird and I can't relax until it stops.

Is it possible you pulled a muscle or even fracture a rib.
I know this fibro causes me to loose my balance and I've taken a number of falls not to mention the times I banged into things.

My advise is when it's something new we should get it checked out.

I do get spasms and cramps like charlie horses in this area and the doctors aren't sure why. Because I do have heart problems my doctors tell me it's better to get it checked out espsially when they are close to the heart.

Rest and Heat with light very light stretches

Hope you feel better soon
