Rib Cage Pain, Thirsty And Tiredness.. Posted: 11-26-03 01:55am
For the past two months, I am experiencing
pain on my rib cage (only left side),
chest area. When I press I can feel the
pain. The pain is not only on my rib
cage, it is near hand and body joint and
also on my left hand.
I visited hospital emergency service and
got my chest xray, ekg and blood test
checked. According to doctor, my xray and
all the results looks normal. Doctor
feels the pain could be because of
inflamation. They suggested brufen. But,
brufen did not help. I have this problem
still existing.
For the past few days, I am feeling tired
and also thirsty whennever I get pain. I
am just 30 years old. Manytimes it makes
me think that I have some heart problem.
I will be happy to provide you more
information. Please someone advise

This is going to sound crazy, but you may
want to get your thyroid checked. I only
say this because a friend of mine was
having similar symptoms and it took them
two years to diagnose her. In that time
her health deteriorated and she gained
over 60 pounds. It is a simple test and
you may as well try it.

Left Rib Cage Posted: 05-31-04 23:08pm
Helloo,
i too have had a dull ache,at the last rib
on my left side. I actually hear a little
clic when I "try and ease the pain.
I do drink too much and arernt getting
enough excercise,i went to a local
hostpital (in thailand) I requested a
camera scope, and the doc said it was
overly inflamed in there, but I put it
down to too much gassy beer, its not so
bad if I drink shorts.
Can anybody throw a bit ....Or is there
another reason im 48 ,male 15% overweight
and have a beer belly. Thanx

I have a dull pain in low left rib
cage\abdomin area. I spoke to my doc, he
said it could be something to do with my
decending colon. I was checked for that
problem and am clear. I am concerned
about my lungs. Is any one else a
smoker?

Chest Pain, Etc. Posted: 11-01-04 11:50am
It is not uncommon to suffer from pain in
the arms and chest when you have tmjd.
The neck muscles become very chronic for
tmj sufferers. My neck was actually
cocked forward from all the muscle
dysfunction. This can cause tightness in
the sternum and collar-bone area. It can
also cause pain in your arm. If these
symptoms are paired w/ dizziness - I would
not consider them tmjd symptoms.
Physical therapy can really help with neck
and back pain.
I have done it several times.
My therapist was surprised by how much
tension and restriction I had in my neck
and back - I am only 25.
Hope this helps.

Im Not Sure What It Is. Posted: 09-26-05 14:57pm
Im only thirteen.
And I have been having similar symptoms.
My mum has been throwing me around a bit,
saying with the thirstyness that it might
be diabetes. And with the tiredness,
anaemia - which is quite possible as I am
a vegitarian, and dont eat that much green
veg.
But I got quite fed up of being thrown
about. And thought i'd have a little
look around to see if I could find out
what I had.
So, having tried a few sites on diabeties
and anaemia - with nothing that caught my
eye about myself I thought i'd search
"thirstyness + tiredness" on google - and
found you lot. And I too have been found
having pains in my left rib area. Its
rather like a bruise feeling when you poke
it. Anyone else have the same?
Ps. Sorry to bore you with my long post!

Rib Pain Posted: 06-11-07 12:58pm
I have been to two doctors about the pain
in my side. It starts under my arm, goes
down to my lower ribs, and over to the
center of my chest. I also have swollen
lymph nodes in that area. One doctor did
an ultrasound and another ran a multitude
of blood tests. The pain is getting worse
and sometimes it hurts to breath. Both of
the doctors acted like I was over-eacting.
Any advice? KMR

Hey Posted: 06-11-07 13:11pm
you guys should have a physical done make
sure that nothing else is going on. from
the sounds of the swollen lymph nodes it
sounds like your body is trying to fight
something off. Anyway do have thyroids
checked. let us know how you are doing.

If they cant find anything else wrong with
you, it is probably your back muscles,
some of them go all around to the ribs,
and can make that are tighten and hurt. (I
just learned this from my trigger point
massage therapist, haha). It is commom in
Tmj patients I think. Also, being in
constant pain makes you tired all the
time.

Rib Pain? Posted: 06-22-07 11:45am
I know alot about this. It might be your
ribs, everyone is right. the jaw effects
the neck, the neck effects the back and
the back can effect the ribs. i go to a
chiropracter all the time, and sometimes
when he adjusts me, he will Pop out a rib.
and i feel it like in my mid back. And i
will say HEY FIX THAT RIB. and he will.LOL
he pops it back in, but i can tell the
minute it goes out. it is all connected so
MUCH. most people with tmj are all messed
up. most have bad necks, shoulders, it is
all so interconnected it is amazing. and
ribs can hurt like mad!!!! love cindy

My doctor told me that the back muscles
around the ribs need to be stretched and
excercised.
I have such horrible pain in the lower
part of my rib cage in my
back...especially after I've been sleeping
for a few hours. Hurts so bad to turn.
Many times it even hurts during the day. I
moan and groan in bed like crazy it gets
so bad.

how many of you go see a chiropractor?
this would also help this. would help your
jaw too.
