Intercostal muscle pain related to my ED?

Intercostal muscle pain related to my ED?

I'm not sure which forum to post this question in, but since my pain is directly related to my weight, I figured this would be the best forum

I've been struggling with Anorexia and Bulimia for almost 11 years now. I have noticed that when I go through a phase of severe restriction and my weight gets below a specific point, I get unbearable pains in between my ribs (the intercostal muscles). It feels as if they have been bruised, and if I breathe in deeply I feel like my floating ribs 'pop'. I don't really know how else to describe it, other than it's very uncomfortable. I have been to three Doctors, had Xrays, and a massage therapist. I have yet to get any answers, I just know that it only occurs once my weight dips, and unless I go back up in weight, the pain persists pretty much all day.

Has anyone else experienced this and received answers and possible remedies (besides the obvious of weight gain).
