Quote: I am sure it's IBS related, but are you sure that it is not muscular? I had a back injury due to a car accident and sometimes my muscle over my rib burns really bad and it burns into my breastbone. It honestly feels the same as when I get heartburn and gas. THe only thing that helps this is heat packs and seeing the chiropractor. You should check with one to make sure nothing is off or pulled. Also, have you tried Protonix as is works well for heartburn and chest pain due to acid and gas? Hope ya get to feeling better soon. Leah
Hi Leah. Thanks for the info. I too had a car accident but it was in July/99. You've got a good point about the rib type injury. I'll check it out further. Heat pads do help alleviate the pain quite a bit, but when I put the heat pads to my chest/rib cage area, I also feel a lot of gas move around. sorry for gruesome details. And as far as Protonix goes, I've tried them all. Really gone the whole route as far as acid reflux meds goes including 2 surgeries.
