I am 64 yrs old and had been having thoracic pain for years. I just found out I have Forestier

i am finding it hard to find much details about this disease my pain is mostly in my mid to rt side of my back when i lay down at night it feels like pressure on my rt side under ribs is this the nerves?

Try searching for DISH: Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (no wonder they called it Forestiers!)

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diffuse-idiopathic-skeletal-hyperostosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20371661

https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/6460/diffuse-idiopathic-skeletal-hyperostosis

are two fairly understandable articles about it.
