Gosh, I never knew the rib pains could be caused by HELLP!

I get these pains below my ribs, on both sides, quite a lot. For me, they are always to do with sitting down and they feel like a kind of stich/ muscular pain. My research and talking to others suggests its just another squishing thing, my ribs and uterus squishing the muscles in there. It feels like a kind of burning pain.

I get help from changing position, stetching my arms over my head, and applying a heat pack.

I'm glad to hear you got checked out by the dr, and know that I know more about HELLP I might mention it next time too, but I am pretty sure mine is muscular.
