HELP. I feel as if I'm dying. :(
I am having HORRIBLE pain right under my left boob.. where the top of my rib is and the soft spot to the side of my rib. I've been having this pain for about 4 or 5 days now. It started off as just a dull pain when I sat up for too long but its gotten to to the point if I sit up for more than 5 minutes or if I lay on either of my sides I am in tremendous pain. It feels like my rib is shoving into my lung and makes it somewhat uncomfortable to breath. It also feels like my top 2 ribs are shattering into a million pieces. Within the past day or so its started shooting pain into my ribcage in the back. Its only on the left side though. Its about where the bottom of your bra goes under your boobs. I have no idea what is causing this pain. I'm only 21 weeks so I don't think it has anything to do with the baby being up that high seeing as how I've read that the top of my uterus is only to my belly button.
Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have any idea what is going on? I have an appt with my doctor the 20th of this month and wanted to try to wait until then to ask what was going on but I can't stand the terrible pain anymore.
Any suggestions? Is it normal? Should I call the doctor to see what they think?

@jazzi89 that sounds about like what I'm experiencing.
@garagebandfan I haven't been coughing a lot but I do have trouble taking deep breaths and I can't bend or twist without my lungs and ribcage killing me.
@garagebandfan She just called back (it wasn't my doc.. just an oncall doc) She said it could be 1 of 3 things that she can think of. 1) Acid reflux.. well I've experienced that.. thats not what I'm feeling at all. 2) Muscular soreness.. I'm an athlete I've worked out and played sports my whole life.. I don't feel like this has anything to do with muscles. I maybe wrong, but I feel thats its muscular at all. 3) A blot clot or pneumonia in my ribs or lungs. She suggested laying down, well I've been for 1 1/2 hours and thats not helped. Its just as bad if not worse. She also suggested motrin for the muscular pain.. and if that doesn't help within an hour she said head to the ER. So I think we are just going to head to the ER now.
Thank you everyone for all the suggestions and advice. I'll keep you updated! Thanks!
I hope you get relief soon and just try not laugh..that was the worst for me!!
Good luck mama! Let me know as soon as you find something out!

Thank you all for the.concern and thoughts. We finally made it home about 4am last night (I think). We told the nurse we weren't leaving until she recalled the doctor.. so the on call doctor consulted the ER doctor.. they ruled out any organ problems by the blood work. So they suggested giving me a finegrin (sp) shot and sending me home. I have to see my on/gun first thing this week. So no real answers and no pain relief... the finegrin shot absolutely knocked me for a loop. Hubby and brother said I was saying the craziest things... that's why its taken so long to update. So now we are just waiting to call OB doctor tomorrow morning.
I appreciate all the thoughts!
@marriedwith_4 that's so sweet of you to say! Thanks!!
