My name is Carole I have had copd fo 7+ years the last couple of years I have been experiencing really bad rib cramps I would describe it like one of your internal organs is stuck between you ribs, it happens to me on both sides, I just rub the area and push on it and it seems to go, I have also told my Gp and also my copd consultant and neither had any answers, I opened up the email today from yourselves and saw the headline CRAMPS IN RIB CAGE, thankyou for confirming I was not going crazy.
