I occasionally have pain in ribs that feels like bruises. Right now it is in my back. Anyone else have this. My pain varies somewhat from day to day.Most of pain is on my left side of body. Is this normal with PN?

Do you only have PN or could it be a secondary condition?
Could it be trigger points in the intercoastal muscles? (the muscles between the ribs?)

I'd check this symptom out with a doctor.
1) left sided back pain can come from the heart. 2) I'd get a chest Xray to see the lungs and ribs. Some diseases cause bone pain...multiple myeloma and Paget's disease. 3) the spleen is on the back left, and so is part of the pancreas. So getting a check by the doctor is a good idea if this pain persists. Sharp ice pick sensations can be gas in the GI tract. This is usually relieved by burping or using a gas X type product containing simethicone.

I think I just have PN. Sometimes the symptoms are so weird. I need a hobby instead of just checking on symptoms. Most days of week I feel fairly good thanks to pain pills. Rainy days are the worst.
I had chest xray This January and it didn't show anything. I had a bone test in dec 2011. Would that show Paget's disease. My mother had it. It was density test done for osteoporosis. |

Pain in the upper back can be important as it is often a site for referral pain from the organs in the torso.
