Does Anyone Else Have This Problem? And What Do You Do For It?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm having an increased amount of pain in my ribs, upper back and chest. I'm using a heating pad, muscle relaxers and advil. Is there anything I can try that I haven't thought of yet? Thanks so much for your help!

Brenda🌷, it sounds like Costochondritis. Many of us have this with Fibro.

I have the exact same symptoms time to time. I noticed that certain specific movements makes the pain flare so I am trying to be mindful about it. Rest, heat, warm bath, helps. Also avoid tight clothing around chest , somehow even just pressure from bra or tighter clothes can be trigger. Of course have your doctor rule out any medical condition which might cause your symptoms. My flares lasts anywhere from 3 days to 6 weeks.
