Front upper torso pain was started.
I'm 13 and I've been getting the se sort of pain for a year now. I've had the type of x-Ray where u drink barrium and they watch it go thru ur system and I've had an ultra sound. They still have no idea what it is. The pain gets so bad sometimes that I black out or everything goes blurry. At this point, I don't really care what it is, I just want it to stop. I've been told it could lactose intollerance, but I've proven it's not. Also, they thought my gall bladder, apendix, and kidneys might I've something to do with it, but the tests showed nothing. Any ideas what it might be?? It's getting to the point where i miss so much school that my mom could get in trouble for not sending me. Plz help! :)
I have similiar pains. It was stomach spasms.
I take a medication to stop the spasms and it goes away in a few days. If you catch it quick, it resolves quickly. If not it can take longer to calm down. Ask your doctor. It is worth a try. It can make the my entire torso burn. Ribs and back hurt and also arms and shoulders. Ask your doctor if there is a possibility this can be the problems.
I'm desparate to learn how you cases came out. I'm in the throws of trying to find a solution for what you've already been through. Can't see reinventing the wheel when there are wise out these who can tell me. HELP.

I ALSO HAVE A LOT OF WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT...I WAS DIAGNOSED IN 1992 WITH FIBROMYALGIA (IT STARTED IN 1990) AND WORKED TILL 2005 WHEN THE PAIN JUST GOT SO OVERWHELMING AND UNCONTROLLABLE...BUT DON'T GIVE UP!!!!...IF YOU HAVE A GOOD ATTITUDE, DO THE GENTLE EXERCISES, AND GET A GOOD DOCTOR THAT BELIEVES IN THIS DISEASE, THEN IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD...YOU MUST TAKE AN ACTIVE APPROACH AND HELP YOURSELF TO GET THE PAIN LEVEL DOWN NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY BUT ALSO MENTALLY...GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHO ARE SUFFERING JUST LIKE ME!
I have a lot of what everyone is saying. I have Fibromyalgia and it causes a lot of these symptoms. Getting checked for Fibromyalgia would be a good idea.
I am 36 and I have the same exact unexplainable pains too, right under my left breast on the ribs, tender to the touch, comes and goes,it started in May of 2008, I felt a small pain and went to the E.R. I had an E.K.G., a blood test they said I had a blood clot in my lung then they did an x-ray and there was no clot, they did a M.R.I. did'nt find anything, they kept me overnight for more tests beacause my E.K.G. looked different, so they had me do a stress test and found nothing was wrong with my heart and lungs and sent me home, months went by no pains, then in Sept. 2008, I was getting the pains again but they were worse and more frequent some times on the left side and on the back left ribs, I don't smoke, but when I am around cigarette smoke and chemicals/cleaners my lungs start hurting. I have been around second hand smoke most of my life. I have neck and back pain and numbness in the shoulder blades and back of neck sometimes and numbness all of time in my left piny and side of hand near pinky that started 2mo. ago. I think the back and neck pains are from picking up my 2 daughters all the time, they are 26 and 38lbs.. I went into the E.R. again in Dec.2008 after getting severe panic attacks because of the pains and was hooked up the a heart monitor and my heart looked good, had a chest x-ray, lungs looked good, had a blood test and I was healthy except for my potassium being low, they gave me a perscription for it. Also my sister has been having pains and fatigue since 2008 and was diagnosed last week with fibromyalgia, I hope I don't have that, I hate taking pills of any sorts, I like to enjoy life and have fun with my kids. I hope we all figure these mysterious pains out. Good Luck!!!!
im a 16 year old girl, and ive been feeling pain right under the top of the middle part of my ribs, and it wont go away...it really hurts, and my friend says im pregnate, but thats impossible because im a virgin...its scaring me to death...
Thank god i was starting to think i was crazy! Im a 22 year old student. and ive has almost the exact same symtoms for a month ans a hlf now. many blood and urine test later no idea. as well as xrays and and ultra sound. at least i know this is something that others deal with. and now i have a direction. my fiance and i have been very scared.
All of your symptoms sound exactly like mine. My dr. diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. Ask your doctor if this could be you.
My wife has the EXACT same pain as you, rib pain which radiates from side to side, to her back and sometimes her chest. She has had the pain for 3 years. I'm desperate for her to get better, Please give me any information you have. She has had all the tests from CT scans, xrays, and blood work. they all came back fine. Doctors are baffled.
My symptoms sound exactly like your's. Did you find out anything about your condition yet, I go to the doc again tomorrow.
I am a 38 year old woman, fit and healthy, excersice regulaly and have rib pain that also connects to my back. The pain is just under my breast and is a band of pain that works its way around to my spine. Im fine through the day with no symptoms, but after a long period of sleep i wake in agony, and find it hard to turn over in bed due to the pressure change on my ribs.... i dread waking up on a morning to this pain, i never know which way to lay to get comfortable and nothing i try ever works. I have been to see my GP and they are going to run some blood tests and they are sending me for a scan too..... i also think an X ray would help, but i will see what the blood test results reveal first (if anything at all) I thought i was the only one suffering with this type of problem but it appears im not alone!
Your symptoms are so similar to my own: torso pain under the ribs, rather to the side...more obvious when sitting for a while. I am 49 and have been feeling this pain for about 2 years. I've gotten to the point that I adjust my posture to avoid the frequent pain.
The best way I described this pain to a friend is that when I was pregnant and carrying my (breech) kids, their heads were up in my ribcage and lungs. In order to breathe better, I would take the palm of my hand and push them down and away. It worked. Course now, I am anything but pregnant. So I too am looking for a way to make this stop.
Last week, I went to the gp and they took an x-ray. Initially it showed a mass of about 2", then I followed that test up with an ultrasound which showed nothing! How frustrating is this!?
Maybe it's muscular/skeletal, which is what my initial undiagnosed thoughts have been. We'll see. I made an appointment with my gastro doctor to let him see all results and see where we stand. I may be making a chiropractic appointment sooner than I think.
