I'm sorry to hear you're going through all that, how really miserable for you. I hope you get a call from the doctor soon and can get some help. I wish you all the best too for the New Year and hope it's a healthy, happy one for you. xx
The other possibility is I get a severe rib pain there which is costochondritis. I get steroids for it , its part of inflammation in the ribs due to RA sometimes . Ice packs are life savers too. Defo one to chat to doc or rheum team so painful.
Have a look on the search bar and see if it rings true to your symptoms
I do hope you get that much needed call from the doctor. You have done the right thing as you need to get some advice to what is causing you such pain. Thinking of you. Wishing you all the best for 2022 lovely xx
Do you think the pain may be related to the lansaprole you are taking? I had a pain like this in my left side just above my waistline which turned out to be constipation. However I don't take lansaprole. If you look at the side effects leaflet one of them is being sick or vomiting. It's only a thought and you would need to ask your GP when he calls.
I had side-extending around to my back pain last spring for about a month before seeing my primary care doctor. He took an X-ray which showed nothing and referred me to a physical therapist. After about six sessions and doing the exercises at home, I was much improved and it gradually went away. Wish I could say the same for all my other aches and digestive issues. Lol.
