So a year ago I was given a nuclear bone scan and CT scan for rib pain and swelling. My rib pain wasn't near my sternum, it was around the bottom of my left ribs. My nuclear bone scan showed inflammation in the lower ribs... costro was diagnosed. The pain and slight swelling lasted about a year and just recently started to get better. In the last few weeks pain has developed in the bottom of my right ribs and round the side. If I press those sore areas it is sooooooo painful!! So much worse than the left hand side was. Can costro move???? I suffer from terrible health anxiety (about to start therapy for it!) but this is now making me so anxious. Of course I'm worrying it's something awful like cancer. This side just feels so much worse, it feels so bruised and when I touch the areas or stretch I nearly jump off the bed!
Have you had any physical therapy (seen a physiotherapist or osteopath)?
Not for the costro as it was never this painful. I am seeing a physio at the moment for a hip/groin problem
I strongly recommend osteopathy for your costo. It's a structural problem, and needs a structural fix.
Thank you. will book an appt!
