Hope it helps!
My inflamation was horrible.
I couldn't move my arm without agonising pain and cried when I had to get dressed.
It was a nightmare.
I'm 30+1w now and starting to get some rib pain on my right side again.. just a teeny tiny bit paranoid it will get just as bad again.
If it does, I'll go on maternity leave earlier.
Thank you ill be trying all the tips I can get ;)
Oh yes. And massage of course!
Ask your partner to rub your back.
pressure along backbone and around shoulderblade and neck can really help.
Press Hold Release kind of pressure.

It's getting a bit tight in there?
I had rib inflamation in my first trimester and what helps is the following:
Cold pack on top of ribs and heat pack on your back behind the ribs.
Sit either all the way up 90° or lay down straight, nothing inbetween.
Posture. Posture. Posture.
yes it is painful but if you let your posture go, you'll have a hard time getting it back.
All clothes looks better with excellent posture, so do your best to keep it that way.
If you see a physian, ask him/her if you can have your ribs taped. It really helped me.
I hope you feel better soon.. although.. it might not.
Best of luck!
