    I found that alternating heat and ice packs worked welll and yes panadol for the pain but again i would see the OB or GP.

    Hope you find some comfort soon...

    You need someone to massage your ribs all night long.

    The only relief I get from rib pain is direct pressure. I get my husband to press his thumb hard against my aching rib and the pain vanishes. Then as soon as he stops, the pain comes back instantly.

    I'm not a tummy sleeper, but I know rib pain all too well.

    Get hubby to massage all night long? he'll surely love that!

    i've tried heat packs, been suffering with the cold already so I think I'll give the ice packs a miss.

    Will experiment with different pillows and get hubby to massage and see how that goes...

    Thanks heaps for the tips!
