I have been complaining of a painful rib cage for years before I was diagnosed. It felt as if I had fallen down stairs and had bruised bones.

The pain in my ribs was what brought me to a breaking point. Its improved since I started taking duloxetine with lyrica. It was a sharp/burning/cutting pain. I would feel it in my ribs under my arms and radiating out my back. It was like broken glass under my skin. It hurt to breathe. It hurt to move. I would sit on the couch with pillows under my arms trying not to move. I wear bras that are 2 band sizes too big because I cant stand the pressure on my ribs.

Yes!

I read somewhere that Costochondritis-like pain is common with fibro. It's when the tissues around your ribs get inflamed.
