Trigeminal Neuralgia for teeth, what about ribs?
That is not a good title, but I couldn't come up with a better name for it. If my Trigeminal Neuralgia is where I have a "tooth ache" in four teeth next to each other... how about if I have several ribs to the left of my heart that hurt the same way?? I went to the ER room Friday. Twice. Severe pain in my ribs. SEVERE PAIN!! I was hurting so bad last night I could not lay down in my bed. I spent the entire night sitting up simply because laying down hurt my ribs too much. The ribs immediately under the left pectorial muscle are the problem.
I have been off opiates for almost a year, but yesterday ended that. Oxycodone and Percocet seemed to have relieved at least a large part of the pain.
Have any of you heard of this?? Some "disease" wherein 4 or 5 ribs are tied together.
The ER determined I did not have a heart attack and some other things, but these did not know what was messing up. Any ideas?
