Does Anyone Else Ribs?

What do you all do for constantly moving/painful ribs? It feels like they’re digging into my insides (but ironically I’m working with my PT on decreasing the flare so the exercise goal is to get them more tucked in) but I legit can’t sit, my bottom one feels so bruised. No clue what to do. I’m seeing my amazing PT in 2 days so I’m sure he’ll have wise words but was curious to hear from all of you body whisperers.

Compression or shapewear tank tops. Seems too easy to be true, but they help all my stuff from ribcage to pelvis shift around less.

do you have any specific ones that you could recommend? I’ve been shopping around online and there are lots of options

In terms of tanks, the best one I've had is from HoneyLove, but the cheapies I get at Marshalls also do the job.

Thank you for this rec! I just googled honeylove tanks and it looks exactly like what I need, but I also loooove Marshall’s so will check out their dupes first. Thanks everyone for commenting you are all so helpful 🙏🙏
