I have that rib stuff and it can be do to fibro----sorry. I've been to the ER 2x for it, since it is on my Left side, but that was years ago. It comes and goes, with me. Right now I am suffering with the costochondritis and nothing seems to help me.

I have this also. My ribs are also very painful to the touch. If I press on them with my fingers it feels like I'm pressing on a bruise.
