Rib Pain and Anxiety: Is it Just Me?

Does anyone experience rib pain when they have stress or anxiety? The pain usually happens when I’m stressed and then I have anxiety if I have bone cancer. Then when I feel calm and at ease it goes away for days. I was on vacation and having fun for a week and never experienced rib pain. Then I come home and have to do laundry and unpacking, it comes back. Is it just me??

It’s a holistic doctor. Natural way to heal your body. I don’t know if they can or how they can help, but you can look into it. I had gut issues-IBS since 2020. This year, I decided to see a functional medical doctor. They look tests and told me what herbs to take, eat healthy foods, no sugar and carbs. SO hard and expensive. I can’t be that strict but I try to eat better. It’s working really well. Eating the right foods can heal your body. Medicines make u feel better and the time, but doesn’t get rid of the problem. I didn’t want to take medicines that put a bandage on my problem. I wanted to get rid of the problem.

I've never heard of that. Different from a pain specialist?

Glad to hear all scans look normal. Have you thought about seeing a Functional Medical Doctor? Someone that can help you get to the root cause.

I have chronic kidney stones and nephrocalcinosis. That's all.

All scans look normal. Mild degeneration. I don't know who to see next.

I’m so sorry to hear that! What are the doctor’s saying? Have you done CT scans or anything?

Pain started in my pelvis. Labral and glute tare. I also started having pain under my left rib cage through to my mid back and flank pain. I have chronic kidney stones, and nephrocalcinosis. But they have yet to find a cause. My grandfather had multiple myeloma. I'm worried of bone cancer too! It hurts exerting myself just doing chores. I can't lay on my left side for too long because it feels like my ribs are going to break. I can't lie on my back for long either. My flank and mid rib area in the back are tender to the touch. 😥
