      Keeping you in my thoughts. Hope it is just a muscle strain and nothing more. I had one when I had bronchitis a few years ago. Felt like a broken rib.

    I had the same thing at 2/3 weeks post op. But mine was on the right side under my ribs and it radiated to my back.

    Turned out to be bruised rib. Also, I feel it when I haven't had much Water for the day or when I'm getting backed up.

    Hope they figure it out and get you home soon!
