Yes, frequently even sneezing has flared one up and muscles between my ribs go into spasm, pain patch on sternum and heat helps … when it persists muscle relaxers tend to help

Thank you all for the replies! I appreciate it ❤️

Laurinda, just to be on the safe side, you may want to call either your family doctor or your rheumatologist. Never hurts to err on the side of caution. 🙂

All the time, thought it was caused by my asthma but today I have pain when swallowing too - don’t even know what to make of it anymore. Good luck to you 🌸

Yes. For a while I didn't realize it was connected to RA - it's not like the rheumatologist ever asks about pain there. I was surprised and relieved when I was researching RA and stumbled upon that. Costochondritis and pain where some of my ribs connect to my sternum. I feel your pain.
