Nov 1 I developed very sharp pain left mid
back area.By late aft unable to move at
all. Never had back spasm before but
believe that is what it was. Since
then, extreme difficulty breathing,voice
is very hoarse going on 3 months now. I
am 52 ,marathoner and tri athlete. Did
not suffer any accident or trauma prior to
the on set of pain. I have been to 8
diff drs and am currently seeing a
chiropractor for 1st time in my life. I
have experienced short periods of relief
but whenever I attempt to run or swim back
to square 1. I believe I possibly have
rib(s) turned or out of place though not
broken. It feels like my diaphragm and
ribs are operating in oppisition if that
makes sense. When lying down in slight
recine position ,pain is almost gone and
can talk and breathe normally. I have
been seeing chiro for 2 months now 4 days
a week. Should I be seeing someone else
about this and if so,what type of dr?
Should chiro have been able to put rib
back in place by now? For the record, I
have had chest xrays,ct scan, blood
work,cardio check ,ashtma check and all
clear
i thought of shingles rash but is not
shingles. The current chiro dr I am
seeing is the 2nd, having no experience
w/chiro drs I am not sure about their
methods . They seem pretty vague and keep
telling me it takes time to heal but in
lieu of any real trauma cant seem to tell
what is causing this and how it happened

hello,
the dc (doctor of chiropractic) should
reevaluate your condition and if needed
refer to another healthcare professional.
If your not happy with this chiropractor
then go see another one to get a second
opinion. Your case could possibly be a
couple of different things that are
masking each other. Have you had an mri?
Also curious, do you have a rash running
horizontally on your rib cage?

Back Pain /ribs Posted: 02-01-07 11:02am
As of yet no mri but do have an appt with
an internist. Hopefully he will suggest
that. Also , no rash -- I thought of
shingles too, but definitely not shingles.
Thanks for the suggestion tho //happy to
have any input on this most baffling
health issue.

I think I have what you had/have. Any
results yet? Mine started middle right
side rear rib cage. It is only when I wake
up and goes away as the day progresses. It
has now spread to the left side. Feels
almost like severe cramping. Once I am
awake the pain keeps me awake hence it is
4:00 in the morning. Its only been about a
week and still need to see the quack. It
is exactly where it shows for shingles,
but no rashes or other symptons, unless
itchey eyes are a symptom and runny nose,
but I think that is an allegy.

I suffered from pain in my lower back for
years. I tried all the medication my
doctor had (as well as a few others!) and
nothing worked.
I found Acupressure Mat (or Tibetan
Applicator) that eliminates pain in
minutes.
Superb product, i would recommend to
everyone with back pain!
