I’ve always had excellent success Googling things – finding answers to all of my questions. It seems lately, my luck has run out. It began with my brain shake which lead me all over creation. The search results suggested I had either Epilepsy or anxiety. Which it was… I have no idea.
Today, the mission was to discover what the strange, rib twisting sensation that happens from time to time is. I’m going to the chiropractor tomorrow so I’ll ask him if he knows, but I was really disappointed that I couldn’t find what I needed on the internet. I asked a few people at work if they’d experienced this phenomenon - lots had. I think it’s a plus size person experience. I never had this problem when I was thin. But even though I’m half the size that I was a few months ago, I experienced this issue the other day.
For me, it happens when I’m doing something like stomach crunches. So, anything that makes me strain my abdominal area. I could actually make it happen if I tightened my stomach really tight right now. What happens is under my right rib cage, it feels like the bottom two ribs are crossing each other like fingers. My friend described the same problem like, “it feels like my fat is getting stuck between my ribs”. The pain sends me writhing in agony until I rub it hard enough or stretch it out to make it stop. It happened to me yesterday while I was doing crunches and my ribs are sore today because of it.
I don’t know what weirdness this rib twisting thing is and no one on the interwebs seems to have a clue either. It’s not a fatty liver, gallstones, or any of the other not so benign things I found – every fat chick I interviewed experienced it. We’re not all diseased. LoL
If you’ve experienced this and have found out what it is PLEASE SHARE.
