i was diagnosed at 38 with disease. Born with only half vertebra at t-7. Have had severe mid back back and recently seems like my rib cage on left side is protruding forward. Right before this happened I was have some sharp pains on that side when breathing. Anyone has these things happen?
I forgot to mention that I am now almost 49
Hi Tammy,
I'm noy going to lie, I haven't had the exact same situation as you - I am not even 20! However, I do have a smiliar medical condition in that I have repiratory problems now due to the curve causing my ribs to press on my lungs - in your case, I advise that you see a doctor as soon as possible! Sharp pains are nothing to mess about with, especially when it could concern either your lungs or even your heart!
I'm sorry I couldn't be much more help! Please feel free to contact me if you ever need anything,
Izzie
Hi I am 50 and have had a trouble free time with my spinal fusion and Harrington rod until recently. I have a very tender area under a rib and it appears to be protruding forwards on the side my curve is . Has anyone else experienced this ?
Do you have a rib rotation?!?! I'm suffering terrible x
I have kyphoscoliosis and my ribs shifted to the right and yes it is painful
