Should I head to the ER??

Question

About a week ago I turned over to my side while trying to get some sleep. I felt this ridiculous pain right under my rib cage between/below breasts. I screamed out in pain. I’m thinking I tore my upper an muscle?? I’ve been in pain ever since. I can’t get out of my car, sit at work, stand for long, or even layback for long without pain. Hurts even more when nugget kicks up 🤦🏻‍♀️ Assuming it was just a muscle issue, I haven’t contacted my OB about it. In googling it, I’m noticing it could be signs of something else. I have an appointment this coming Friday. Should I wait to tell her at my appointment? Or should I make a trip to the hospital?

Answer

I had a hernia in this area that caused a lot of pain and came on randomly but that pain could also indicate liver or gallbladder issues. If you're in a lot of pain and can't handle it, go to the ER (I did so don't feel bad if you do go) or if you can stand it until the morning, give your OB or midwife a call and see if they can squeeze you in for an exam or give you a recommendation of what to do. Tylenol (325 mg every few hours), Epsom salt baths, massaging the area, sleeping elevated at 30 degrees or more, and ice packs helped me a lot. For me it hurt so bad even to just breath. It lasted for about two months and then when the baby dropped it went away. I'll keep you in my thoughts! I know it sucks but keep strong
