Is it costochondroitis? That's very common with fibro. You can google costochondroitis nhs to get info x

Hi amanda2277

I am so sorry to read that you are suffering in this way. I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution to this issue soon.

I have something very similar to this. It stems back to when I was first diagnosed with Fibro. I was getting a pain under my rib cage that use to make me keel over. My doctor told me that my stomach was actually coming apart and I needed to wear a surgical support to pop back everything into shape. I have done this but I stopped wearing the support too soon and the problem is returning. At one point I actually had a lump start protruding from the centre of my tummy.

I looked into what she told me and it appears to be a problem mainly for women who have had children. Okay, I understand that I am a very modern and family orientated kind of guy but I am sure I have never actually given birth myself and never will. I do not know if you could have this sort of problem?

Anyway, I really do hope that you can get it sorted and get as pain free as possible.
