Rib Pain

Multiple Doctor/Hospital Visits. Gallbladder has been removed. CT scans. Xrays. Ultra-scans. Blood tests, hydra scans. Injections in my ribs which has made it worse. Was diagnosed with, PE, DVT, pneumonia, torn cartilage, urinary tract and kidney infections, h pylori... I'm desperate. I dont know what to do and I'm in so much pain. It has been on going since April 24, 2009 and it's getting worse. I cant go to work or school. It has put me into a deep depression. The pain started out in lower right ribs and now it's on the left side too. I tested positive for H. Pylori, but i've taken all the antibiotics which seem to have made the pain worse, but my GI doesn't think that it's causeing my pain. I've spent so much time and money on hospital and doctor visits. No one knows what's wrong with me. I even took anti depression meds to proove that it's not psychosomatic. Please help!

Sometimes this kind of pain can come from your body laying down fascial tissue over the ribs for protection.  Try visiting a massage therapist who does myofascial release and see if it helps.
