Yes I had this very severe.It felt as if I had stretched my ribs in between terrible pain even hard to breathe.Needed extra pain relief support from my doctor.The problem I find with FM is when one pain goes from an area on your body it moves to another area.I had shingles and even though that wasnt nice my FM stopped soon as I was over the shingleds it was back, how odd is that.Has anyone else experinced this?

sounds like COSTOCHONDRITIS .... google it. Not a lot that can be done for Costo it is just one more hell to contend with. Remember chest pain can be serious. if you are worried always seek medical advice.

Costo is the inflammation of the soft tissue in the intercostal area.... that is to say between the ribs and where the ribs attach to the sternum (breast bone). All you can do is rest and try to keep your breathing calm.... SORRY no magic answer x

Yes rosehip, I have it most of the time.

It is always there but i have really bad flares which is happening right now. Last night i couldnt breathe without it being agony and i didnt answer my phone or come on here as i just needed to be on my own and cry.

It is still quite bad today but its stil agony. I just hope it doesnt take too long to calm down.

It is called costochondritus. And its total agony.

Yes I explaine it as long boney fingers inbetween my ribs squeezing, Its more around the side of my body near my arms, its quite uncomfortable, yet just another symptom. I have had massage, very very painful but soooooo worth it, worked for some time, I was given breathing exercises you start off breathing in through the nose for the count of 7 then out through the mouth for the count of 14 x 3, 3 times a day, work up to 9 in and 18 out, helps streatch the rib muscles as they get just as tight as as other muscles do.

Hope this helps

Hi rosehip, yes I have this all the time but only on the right side, feels like it's between two ribs. It makes wearing a bra darn uncomfy, as it cuts into the painful part. It's odd because the other side is fine. Had to part with wired bras, just too uncomfy, trying Ahh Bras now, but frankly no better as the underband soft as it is still cuts in - ouch!
