Re: Re: Need advice or input please ::TERI: rib pain

[Guest guest]

Teri..I do believe that pain in your ribs...and it is INDEED in your ribs.

the bone....the pain is radiating from the spine ..I have this a LOT.

especially when it is going to storm...and I have slept too long...and I

cannot lay on my side...the pain takes my breath away.........it is all in

the spine...at least for me it is...I have Degenerative disc disease...not

FUN

Hope you get some help..and I am abashed to think that your doctor

prescribed medicine with NO TESTING or xrays?

I have this same rib pain. When I wake up I can hardly breathe because of

it. I also have *mild* spasms or charlie horses in my calves. Overall

stiffness and pain in my neck, shoulders, and back. But the rib thing,

which started about 3 or 4 months ago and has gotten progressively worse, is

TERRIBLE.

,

I found that putting Lydoderm patches on my ribs and heat have helped with those

pains. I'm not sure if it is muscle, cartitege ligaments or bones that are

hurting but as long as I can find some relief, I'm happy. Muscle relaxers or

pain meds may help and hot water alway seems to help mr so go for the shower.

The moist warm air will help your breathing as well. I would suggest that you

have someone around incase you need some assistance.
