I had 3 rotated ribs towards the end of pregnancy. Unfortunately, nothing helped, even going to the osteo and getting them pushed back into position. Bub was just in a certain position and mummy's ribs were in the way, so he kept pushing them out of the way. It was near/under my left shoulder blade and it hurt so much all the time. I kept putting heat packs on it. The only time I ever got relief was doing hydrotherapy. In the end, I think I may have been taking panadol or codeine and I hate taking drugs in pregnancy. I'm sorry to say, the only thing that cured the pain was birth.

I hope you find relief. The tennis ball idea seems a good one. I'll remember that for next time.

Do you know what position bub is in? I had the pain when bub was head down as well as breech. I used to think it was cos he was posterior, but we couldn't tell.
