Rib Pain - second opinion

Hi Lovely People

Been a lot about rib pain on here recently. Whilst only got diagnosed with UCTD a few months ago, I found the posts very interesting because I’ve had unexplained rib pain and tenderness for years! In the past had XRays, MRIs, scans for bone cancer which all came to nothing. Anyway, happen to have a follow-up with Rheumatologist this week and asked him if my rib pain could be due to UCTD. He categorically said it wasn’t…but then he also said fatigue was only associated with a lupus diagnosis 😂. I thought about getting him to read some of the posts on here!

So thinking about getting a second opinion (very lucky to have health insurance to cover that!). If you know of any superdooper rheumatologists in the South East or London, please let me know! 🙏
