A member asked:
Rib cage pain on both sides a little under armpit. rib xray negative. only really bothersome when laying on sides at night. diagnosed with costochondritis, however, symptoms persisting. does this take awhile to go away? i do have a heavy toddler?

Costochondritis is less likely the cause of bilateral rib cage pain below the armpit areas because the costochondral joints are in front of the chest. If you carry your toddler quite often with alternative side, that could be the culprit as you have thought so you just have to stop carry your child for a while until the pain resolves as a trial.
