I know a lot of people have previously posted about rib pain and it seems to go along with Fibro but I’m starting to feel like I’m crazy. I’ve had an X-ray, ultrasound, full cardiac workup to make sure it wasn't my heart and more recently an endoscopy. Everything has been clear and my docs have told me I’m healthy and it’s just Costocondritis, but this has been going on since February in both of my ribs, mostly the lower ones sometimes going into my breast bone but never usually my upper chest… read more

I have recently had a very painful flare up centered in my foot. It often happens that my flare ups are centered in specific areas. Is this common for others as well?

I actually am not scheduled for an RFA yet. I still have to have a test pain block to see if I am a candidate but the person I'm going to does not prescribe so I want to get prepared. Thank you for any help. Ps. The pain block to determine RFA is something I can handle during and afterwards I believe as it's only a test .

Any suggestions for healing hip bursitis???

Its like a sudden jabbing pain like someone has stabbed you with a pin or several pins. Its is so embarrassing when it happens and I have visitors. We can be talking away and suddenly I will jump up and shout OUCH!.
I feel such a fool, they must think I am nuts.
When my guest asks what's wrong I just reply I think I was stung by a wasp. Cos that's kind of what it feels like. Does anyone else experience this sudden random pain?😠

Small tender lumps pea size on upper right leg and left side of abdomen. I've had an abdominal CT Scan that came back clear. I can feel two on the left side of my stomach and two on my upper right inner leg. My PCP says I'm just a "lumpy person" and they are cysts. Ive had two doctors look and they dont seem concerned as they don't change in size. They never go away though?

This is a question I feel we all often face. How do you know the difference between a flare and actually needing medical attention? I thought my sore throat and arm/hand pain was all due to fibromyalgia. Since I already had a doctors appointment, I thought I would ask him to check it out. Come to find out I have Strep Throat and Tendonitis. How do you decide when its time to go to the doctor?
