A member asked:
I am 51 yrs old i have a history of ibs yet i have for 3 days am getting pain between my upper ribs reminds me of contractions what can it be from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle pull: Upper rib pain can be from an injury, pull or twist. Pain like contractions can be a muscle pain. If you are having gas or bloating from your ibs that could also set off the discomfort. If that is the case Tums can be helpful as well as Prilosec or zantac (ranitidine).
