fibromyalgia

428021 tn?1203669150 At 1st I kept thinking there was something wrong with my mattress and eventually flipped it. Then the pain got worse and I grabbed my ribs and realized it was my body and not the bed (I know... a little slow on that one). Now it has gotten so painful that I can't sleep in any position but on my back. I have a little swelling too, but mostly just pain nearly everywhere I touch on my right rib area.
Avatar m tn t think I can offer to much, But I suggest that you see your Dr, I guest if you could could describe the location of the pain in the ribs. I have a pain in the lower part of my ribs, Its almost the same kind of pain that you get when your preggy, and the baby presses it foot right up the ribcage, my doc told me it had something to to with my reflux condition.

Avatar f tn Does anyone have periodic chest pain with their fibromyalgia? I get it on the left side, higher than the heart, almost like a rib pain or something. I wondered if anyone else has this?
Avatar f tn I have a pain in my left side, below my ribs. It seems to be focused at different areas all the time. It will be around where my pelvic bone is, or it will be just below the ribs. Sometimes even around my back, tho less often there. It feels like a stabbing pain. And it comes & goes. Is this related to my bowels? My ovaries (I'm past menopause), something else? I had 2 C-sections (which were done badly) & have a scar stretching from one side to the other.

Avatar m tn In my latest blood tests ANA came +VE.Im scaring with these results.I have ribs pain started(back left) in June during my India visit, ribs pain triggers when breathing,yawning and burping. Primary care ordered X-ray on 07/16 and it came normal.In 3rd visit Primary care ordered bone scan which gave some clue about pleural effusion, so I visited Pulmonologist. Pulmonologist ordered several ANA tests and CT-Chest.
Avatar f tn So I have been dealing with constant issues for almost a year now. From chest pain and rib pain to dizziness and tremors. At the begining of the year I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. And a few months ago hyperthyroidism. Some symptoms resolved and new ones show up. Now I have this pain in my armpit and it feels like it's swollen. I do not feel any swollen lymph nodes. I get pain into my ribs and a soreness that wraps around to my ribs in my back. I'm so sick of going to the dr.
391038 tn?1298737386 This makes me feel a little better(even though my back is in much pain)cause at least I know that this is what may be causing the increase in pain! I didnt injure my back in any way but just woke up with the pain one morning! I too have been really tired lately, since this increased back pain under my ribs has begun, which was about a week ago! I have had fibromyalgia for a couple years now though!
Avatar m tn On the bottom of my ribs in one area about the size of a silver dollar I have this pain on my ribs. Now I have to admit that I do rub it and I know that's not helping. below it on the skin is like a bruise that just keeps lingering, I guess from all the rubbing I do. I've had x rays, CT scans, MRIs, I do have diverticulosis and I have had a endoscopy (negative) and a colonoscopy ( found 2 benign polyps.) If I don't eat Activia everyday then I'm toast.
Avatar f tn I know this might sound far fetched but you said mucle aches and fatigue?? Have you been checked for fibromyalgia? I to have had pain in the rib region and around to the back for years ...Every kind of test done but nothing ever found. Mine is on the right side though. Two years ago I started in with muscle aches and fatigue to where i could not even get outta bed. I was sent back through a series of tests that concluded I had fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn Yes, you can get chest pain (pain in your breast area) from throat infections. Throat infection by streptococcal bacteria can cause heart affliction too. Similarly throat infection can spread to lungs and cause pneumonia which can cause chest pain. If it is accompanied by fever then high pulse rate can cause chest discomfort. Antibiotics given during throat infections can cause acidity and chest pain.
Avatar f tn Sometimes it is in my hand, like it is right now. Sometimes it is in my leg or my ribs or anywhere. I have read some other peoples' questions who feel similar to me. But do we have fibromyalgia? or is it something else? Thanks for helping me to quit ignoring this issue and figuring out I'm not the only one.
489725 tn?1280052553 My doctor recently suspects fibromyalgia, I have been in the emergency room atleast 8x since June 23 for chest pain. I got out of the hospital on the 23 from having pneumonia. I didn't have a severe cough but he says the tissue at the bottom of my asophagus tube is deteriated. It was found with an Upper GI. You may request one of those to find out what is going on, they can be very helpful in diagnosing.
Avatar n tn Do you think this pain is caused from an unwrapping of the nissen of it can be some other sort of pain maybe fibromyalgia ?
Avatar n tn at night sometimes i cant lay on my back bc it makes it hard to breath and hurts badly so i try rolling on my sides, usually thats helps a little but im still in pain. i also get sharp pain in my lower sternum. my ribs and back seem to be super tender to the touch. ive had x-rays but they showed nothing. im only 15 but it has been going on for a year now. if anyone has any idea pls let me know!
Avatar n tn Hi, I've been having pain in my rib cage since august 08. They're swollen, I've had different people feel to make sure I wasn't imagining it. I've gone to a regular Dr, a Pulmo, and an Osteopath. No one has been able to tell me anything, other then it isn't anything to do with my lungs. The Osteopath did tell me that I have one leg longer then the other. I'm supposed to be doing exercise every day to help get my body adjusted to the lift in my shoe.
Avatar n tn I have been getting a pain in the upper left part of my ribs. Just below the breast. Its a pulsing pain and I can feel it coming on before it starts. It usually happens when I am bent over and do physical activities. I also have back pain. Esp in the upper back and neck area from tension and stress. I also know I strained my shoulder working out. I dont know if they are all related. But when I dont have the pain I have an ache in my back and from where I usually get the pain.
1374679 tn?1278668708 I have read about other ppl having the same symptoms as mine when waking with pain around the ribs - difficulty moving, etc... in the morning... I just wanted to say - I saw an internal specialist about my problem. He advised that it is fluid in the joints (and between the ribs) this is what causes the pain as the ribs are spread apart, when we get up and urinate and walk around have coffee , juice, milk, water etc...
1071027 tn?1258574445 Everyday, all day long. Sometimes the pain is an extremely sharp jabbing, stabbing, take my breath pain. I also have nausea along with that. Who knows what all of that is about. I've been put through all kinds of testing. (ct scan, various kidney test, and lab) Itching "could" be a sign of either liver or kidney problems. The least they could do is some blood work to make sure the liver and kidney are functioning well. Is it both ribs, or just one.
671285 tn?1292660161 For over 5 weeks I have been getting this very uncomfortable pain in my ribs which comes and goes. Now that pain is travelling toward my back. And I notice it whenever I move my arm or walk. I tried to extend my left arm and I was literally on the floor trying to catch my breath because the pain hurt so bad. It makes it hard to breathe for a mini-second and then I am back to normal. I was just wondering what this could be. I have taken some pain meds like Aleve which have not worked.
Avatar m tn I have been having frequent and constant pain in my abdomen, ribs, and my chest. I also wake up with a cough that I think might be related. When the pains first started, I went to the E.R. and I got a bunch of tests run including a chest x-ray and an EKG. I also had blood tests run to check for a high white blood cell count, as well as my liver function. I do not smoke, and I have started eating much healthier since this pain has started.
