Yes I agree, it seems fibro is a get out clause for some people (medical), you would think with the millons of fibro sufferers and todays miracle medicines that a cure would of been found, but we can but dream! Hope you have a pain free peacefull nights sleep, im a very light sleeper so any little noise and im on the alert, unlike my husband who can sleep through anything.Take care,

Did they check for costrocondrisist? It is an inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage. That is what I had. Hurts really bad.

I get pain in both ribs sometimes, I,m told its posture! we sufferers don,t realise how we sit and lie to avoid pain in one area whilst causing referred pain in another.. I have a power shower and I stand under it and let the jets of water fire on the painful areas, I can then stretch a little hlding on to grab rails I had put up.

Oh my lovely and there was me feeling sorry for myself. Sending you a gentle hug. I get a lot of pain in my chest but they're not sure if it's my fb or where I cough so much with my chest infections. It does my head in that everything else that we suffer with is put down to fb but they still don't know a lot about fb. xx

Hi lynbillhorton, I see this was from 3 months ago and was just wondering if you found any relief from the rib pain. I too have this everyday front back and side of ribs for 4 months now. I am desprate for releif. Tried many things with no help.
