What is causing my pinching pain in stomach and rib area?
Since January 2010 when I suffered from Glandular Fever for 6 months I have had constant rib pain. The pain is often in my stomach area and is really uncomfortable, like a sharp pinching pain that is 2 inches long and maybe a cm thick. When pain levels reach over 7 in my ribs my arms go numb (all the way down to my wrist). I have numbness in the front of my left thigh as well. I have a low immune system and every time I get a cold/flu I get a bronchitis. I am always tired. I suffer from asthma and scoliosis. My C-Reactive Protein is the only thing that comes back as worrying on my blood tests at double what it should be. Bone density is lower than it should be by my MRI scans of my neck (doctors assumed my issues were pinched nerves). I keep getting asked whether I smoke, but I don't, because second hand smoke causes an asthma attack so smoking would be dumb. I have smoked in the past, but only at parties every few months. I also lived in a asbestos house 10 years ago. -
