Hello!! Wondering if there is anyone who has had rib pain so badly your breasts hurt. Just came back from a mammogram and ultrasound because of severe breast pain. Just the right breast. Thankfully, all tests were great!!! But I do get Costochondritis and now I think that it's causing the breast problem.
I thought I might alone on this one.. I too suffer with breast/rib pain which raps around the back into my shoulder blade.... had the same breast ultrasound, ecg, chest x-ray .. I have health anxiety too which doesn't help as every ache and pain I believe is something more than just fibro.... fed up with going doctors all the time 😔 gentle hugs to you all 🤗
I also get a lot of breast pain but also chest pain and rib pain. After a mammogram and x rays came out normal they also said it was costochondritis. I read it's common in people with fibro. My pain sometimes will go down my right arm to my hand and make my hand turn red like it's burning inside. All I did was read about it and put a heating pad on my chest which really helped and kept taking Naproxen. Happy it went away but it took a
long time. Had the pain for about 3 months.
Hope your feeling better
My ribs always hurt. It really feels like bone pain. Never heard of costochondritis. Will have to read up on that.
Yes. Stabbing breast pain. I had a scare before my fibro diagnosis that ended after mammograms every 3 months for 2 years--all negative. I have intercostal inflammation as well and it can hurt from the front through my back. I take ibuprofen for it at times but I have to be careful since the med I take for lupus (hydroxychloroquine) can cause liver damage if taken with anti-inflammatory meds. Good luck and know that you don't suffer alone!
Yes, I get the severe rib/breast pain as well, ultrasound came up clean. I get no relief other than lying down or back in a reclining position, otherwise it's a very painful crushing sensation.
