@kmakm Just picked up on this, Kate. It must have been so distressing for you. Hope it doesn't recur. Osteopath treatment sounds great.
I did myself a rib injury a few months ago when I was starting to feel energetic and motivated after the effects of Letrozole were fading. I dragged six huge potplants into new positions, rearranging my back garden. Next day, excruciating rib pain. GP said I had crushed my rib cartilage. Frustrating, because I was always able to do that sort of thing with ease, before. It's continued to be sore, though not as bad as before. GP sent me for chest & lower rib x-ray a couple of weeks ago and there seems to be nothing. Maybe scar tissue as well. I hope when I have my "get rid of reconstruction" surgery in August, the surgeon will have a good look at the ribs at the same time. My ribs on the left (operated side) are harder and more "pronounced" than on the right.
