This may not be close to what you are describing.... hope it helps. Good luck.
I've been having this same sensation but only on the right side - the side currently affected by my ongoing flare. Right in the rib cage area sometimes it feels like something is squeezing so tight it might crack a rib! Very painful. I can't even get a good, deep breath when the pain is at it's worst.

Ahhhh.....such fun.
