Members validated the original poster's experience of abdominal and pelvic pain, with many sharing they endure similar symptoms, including pain under the ribs that wraps around to the back and intense itching sensations. Several members offered insights, with one suggesting the rib pain could be costochondritis (inflammation of the chest wall), which is common in the fibromyalgia community and can feel severe enough to mimic a heart attack, while others mentioned using ice packs and ibuprofen for relief. A recurring theme was frustration with delayed diagnoses and feeling dismissed by doctors who may not fully understand or listen to the wide range of fibromyalgia symptoms.

The pain in your ribs is probably costochondritis. Its an inflammation of the chest wall and ribcage. A lot of us on here have it, it comes and goes. Its very painful but I don't remember itching when I had it. I went to the er 2 times before being diagnosed. I felt like I was having a heart attack. I hope you feel better soon. I use ibuprofen and ice packs to help the inflammation.
