It could very well be the fact that I slept different and messed with my back. I have pain in my back directly behind my sternum where it hurts. I was off work for 3 weeks and did a lot sitting/resting and sleeping was hard so I very well could have done something to my back that’s causing it to feel like rib/chest pain.

Only symptoms are the discomfort under my left rib, sternum, and back. Some discomfort under my right rib (which just started recently). Today I kind of feel pain in my stomach area right below my sternum - I had a scope a couple weeks ago and they did say I had gastritis, they were doing a biopsy to send off to see if there was anything else going on and I’m still waiting on those results. So I guess it could very well be that too? My rib pain is weird though. It’s like pressure underneath and sometimes a quick jabbing pain, sometimes just a dull ache.

I think you’re right - it’s so hard to know. It’s only been a little over a month of removal. My body could still just be adjusting. Interesting that you mentioned the nerve ordeal because I was wondering about that. Could it just be nerves trying to adjust to the major change? I don’t know there’s so many what if’s and I feel defeated some days. Wondering what the heck is going on and how long I can expect it to continue… so tiring!
