Members responded to someone experiencing severe pain under the right breast with a low fever and headache, offering possible explanations and support. Several members suggested it could be costochondritis, an inflammation of the rib cartilage that can occur with rheumatoid arthritis, recommending warm baths and ibuprofen for relief, while others initially wondered about gallbladder issues before learning it had already been removed. A recurring theme was the unpredictable and challenging nature of living with RA and related autoimmune conditions, with members offering encouragement and asking to be kept updated after an upcoming scope procedure.

It might be costochondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage where the ribs attach to the breast bone. I have been through emerg with chest pain a few times. Nothing came up through testing and they thought it might be that. Apparently happens to some people with RA. Warm bath and ibuprofen might help.
