I do. It's awful and scary. My boyfriend freaked out when it happened and I was next to him. I gasped and grabbed my side, he didn't know how to help. There was nothing that either of us could do. It comes and goes for me. I don't know if it's fibro related either, but I just thought that I'd share that it's happened to me.

I have the rib pain all the time. My doc said it's chondritis. It's very sore. I wear an ice pack from Walgreens. It's sn ice pack belt. It help my pain.

I have been dealing with a 'sore muscle' on my left side. It is from the middle of my back across to my ribs. Mine has been getting worse to the point I might see a doctor. It also trails down to my hip. I think mine is not fibro but is more painful because of the fibro. Heat seems to help some. If I'm not sure of a pain that lasts more than a week, I ask a professional. I can't tell the difference.

I believe it is called ch0ndritis. I went to the er years ago with severe pain in my ribs but I was not sure if it might be my heart. With fibro we don't know whether to blow pain off as fibro or if we are having a heartattack. Iguess it is better to be sure than to have a heart attack. I hope the pain is better. have a good night everyone.

Yes I get it from time to time. My GP had me checked out for gallstones, this was before I had been diagnosed with FM. I sometimes get a lump come up too around one rib. Very, very painful AND very, very annoying Grrrrrrr!
