Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 >>Cindi & , I had to have some x-rays done because I kept getting a pain that was on the left side of my rib cage. << I think this is likely something different than what I have had. What I have experienced is not pain but an actual " Charlie Horse " of the muscles over the ribs. No pain at all except when it is locked up and I am literally writhing trying to find a position that will release it! LOL *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I was just reading about pains on the upper left side of the chest/rib cage which (coincidence or not?) I also get:) Mine don't usually last a long time so I haven't told my dr. (I can't tell more than 2 symptoms at a time or it blows her mind! besides all pains like that are due to stress right? Not.) I was just reading here: http://www.efibro.com/read.php?f=59&i=83&t=83 about " costochrondritis " that it may be a symptom of Fibromyalgia. I read " The Thyroid Solution " -by Ridha Arem MD yesterday. It made me wonder if these pains could all be because of T3 shortage. Anyways - what a wonderful book!
