Itchy ribs

… is the way I have described the sensations since a child. Which were dismissed as imagination
. It starts slightly behind my lower rib cage deeply inside and drifts to the fatty area on my back which would be level with the bottom ribs. Of course, being internal and under the rib cage, I can't get at it to scratch
.
Once the cold symptoms go away, the sensation stops

It's just your imagination
No, really, I don't know. Is it only when you have a cold? Maybe it's a mild pleurisy? I used to get intense pain in the same place you describe if I didn't stop my daily run when I had a cold.

Definitely related to the cold, I get that itch but in a different area, cannot even begin to describe.....
its in the little tubes between ear and brain thats the only way I can begin to describe the area, its deep set and really itches and Dr looks at me as if I have lost the plot.....not something one can scratch, drives me insane, so I feel your pain, hope it passes over soon.

Thanks. It becomes problematic as the day progresses. Once the cold has run it's Course the symptoms will go and I forget about them
