I’ve had pain under my ribcage on the left side on and off since February. I had a baby in Dec 2018 and one in summer of 2016. I had an MRI summer of this year after 4 months of a dull pain there but they didn’t see anything. It’ll hurt for a few wks, go away, then come back. Could my DR have caused rib flare, causing the pain? My first son was very big (8 lbs 13 oz, I’m only 5’3, 110 lbs, petite) and also breech so my DR is bad at the top. Should I push another MRI or could it be something else?

It is possible that they could cover this if they believe that it would fix your condition. However, I would find this to be unlikely as it is mostly a cosmetic procedure unless there’s also a hernia developing in the diastasis.
