I went to see the physical therapist my OB referred me to today and can I just tell you how much better I feel? My rib wasn't dislocated, but two of them were shifting and well on there way to being dislodged out of place according to the PT. She moved them back to where they are supposed to be, which hurt like hell, but not near as bad as it would have hurt if she had to pop a rib or two back into place.
She showed me some exercises to do that will help keep my ribs in place and help eliminate the pain as well. I did them in her office today and they made a world of difference. It's the first time I've had relief from the pain in over a week. She wants me to do the exercises twice a day for the next week and then she wants to see me one more time just to make sure that I'm not in pain and that my ribs are staying where they should.
My next appointment with her is on Friday, July 10th, then I go see my OB four days after that. This month is being filled with more appointments than I originally planned, but I don't mind at all. I can move without being in tears again. LOL! I'll keep you all updated as I get closer and closer to my due date. =)
