Hi - I have not had an official diagnosis of Fibro yet but it has been suggested by two different doctors so far. It seems as though I have a new or weird pain everyday. But, in the last 4 days, my rib cage hurts. I have been diagnosed with Costochondritis a month ago but is it possible for the WHOLE thing to hurt ALL THE WAY around and down the sides? AND, under my bra on the ribs and in the upper part of my abdomen are killing me. Has anyone else experienced this? I am looking for some input before I call my Dr AGAIN with something is that not worth being seen for and is part of the Fibro.

When I first had gastritis, the pain would be in the areas you mentioned and also in other areas. Any chance you could have something like that going on? I still get odd little pains which I think are related to my gastritis, though it has become better.

Hope you find answers soon, and have a good week.

I have the pain in my upper abdomen, got this a lot in the beginning and sore ribs at the bottom.

Still not sure what it could be...doc thought IBS but I think its too high up for that...

Could be fibro - I have started to learn to wait about a week and if symptoms still persist call the doctor. Usually most subside within this time and then it moves on somewhere else...my pain in upper abdomen comes and goes

Thanks for the kind responses you guys! I am trying to wait it out. I had never heard of Gastritis, so thank you for the insight!

I have costochondritis and it causes these feelings.  There is a link in Fibro 101 all about it.  See if this fits what is happening to you.
