Severe rib pain/pulled muscle

[sn0wbunnie]

So this is baby #4 for me, for the last 2 weeks I have been having SEVERE rib pain on my left side. I even went into labor & delivery to see what was up. They ran blood tests & concluded that it was a pulled muscle. They prescribed me muscle relaxers, but all those do are make me dizzy

Has anyone dealt with this? It hurts the most after I eat, which I think is because my full stomach. The pain is debilitating though & I am getting SO frustrated. I have a pretty high pain tolerance too. 3 kids, no meds. No meds after my gallbladder removal last summer... so to have it hurt this bad is surprising! Especially since it's my 4th baby! Has anyone dealt with this? I've tried eating smaller portions, using heat, tylenol, etc... but nothing is working! SO frustrated!!

I have my weekly appointment tomorrow, so I'm going to talk to my doc more about this, but I was just curious if anyone else is dealing with this?
