I get pain in my right rib cage area that's caused by a herniated T11 T12 disc. Muscle relaxer and resting back on a heating pad help. Hope you can get some relief.

I had pain in my left side went for X-ray and was told I have broken rib ! Not done anything to cause this and now have massive swelling and constant pain in my left breast ? Any help as I usually feel like I get a pat on the head and told well you have RA!!! and see you in 6 months

It does sound like costochondritis. Use heating pad, anti-inflammatory meds, rest, and gentle stretching to chest wall.

I have had RA since 2009 and it is now so much worse. I have run pain, kidney pain, lower back pain, every joint pain. Standing up from sitting is excruciating, sitting down makes my knees feel like they're about to pop. I remember being told I had costchondritis when I had severe pain in my sternum. It flares up and feels like my chest is about to rip open. Constant pain from one area to the next. I am taking Sulphasalazine but just like all the other meds I've tried, these do not work

I have pain in my ribs on the side of my back and my rheumy told me its ra stuff unfortunatelt. Gets worse for me during a flare. I hate it. I get that sharp pain when i move the wrong way in my ribs as well
