Rib cage structure suddenly starting to break up! Cannot lie on back anymore, just on side with various pillows! Osteoporosis pigeon chest!

Ribs dislocate freely now, when I move in bed, rather disconcerting when getting out of bed, ribs almost scream just to get back into some sort of order, right across sternum in and out of joint, now affecting breathing, local Health Centre "can't do anything more for you!" when they inspect me! Have had JME epilepsy for over fifty years, 400 + seizures, Chiropractor "you have broken or fractured every rib in your body!" Sleep patterns not exactly regular? Just as well living on my own and retired?

Hi there, why dont you try heat as that may relax you abit. It sounds like pleurisy? You have to rest if you have that. You said you ve been to health centre, have you seen a dr I guess? If it was me and dr wasnt listening and I was in that much pain I would go to a and e. You shouldnt be in that much pain all the time. I wish you well.

It was a side effect of a misdiagnosis the 'person' in charge when putting me through for 'suspected' PC did not 'notice' my deformed rib cage structure🙄 thus when they gave me hormone injections, my rib cage structure [side effect of meningitis when I was 10] collapsed, thus in February after the PC treatment was finished, my GP looking at my chest, [accidently pushed a rib out of place] "there is nothing more we can do for you" . I do use Tiger balm on it, but sometimes it softens the ribs too much! I use vit d supplement 400 pills to strengthen my overall bone strength!🥴🥴

Maybe it would be worth trying hollistic therapies, I wish you well trying to find a solution. Painkillers from the dr may help too 🙂
