Tenderness in ribs

8 weeks post op and have been back in the gym for 3 weeks now. Weight loss is going great and I'm not in any pain. But my ribcage feels tender all the time. You know when someone tries to crack your back by lifting you up from behind with your arms crossed against your chest? It kinda feels like someone did that and squeezed just a bit too tight. Is this normal?

i had the same issue at about 8 weeks post op. it wasn't a constant pain, but would come and go, some days not having it at all. I asked my doctor and she was sure it was a pulled or strained muscle. Check with your doctor to make sure though! Good luck on this journey.
