Fretting
It's the middle of the night and I'm having a quiet fret about rib pain.
I woke up from my BMX & recon (27/4/18) with a sore lower left rib. I queried it with my PS when he deigned to speak to me but he dismissed it with a 'we did a lot of pulling and stretching in the area'.
It's never gone away, coming and going at various times. However the last few weeks the pain has got stronger and more frequent and I've started to have a worry.
I know it can't be bone mets but there's this little niggle in my mind, those stories you hear about people thinking they had a gym injury or something like that, only to discover months later that it's not that at all.
I don't want this worry to eat me up so I went to my GP this morning, confessed to being a cliche and explained. She was totally understanding and very sympathetic, examined me (I am very sore on the left) thoroughly and suggested that I have an xray of the area to start to find out what's going on.
She also said I had "quite prominent ribs". What does that mean?!
But now it's the middle of the night, my rib hurts, and every tiny throb of pain in my body is magnified a thousandfold.

- Thank you so much @Shellshocked2018_. It is a relief. I wasn't majorly worried but it had started to niggle sufficiently to make me worry. This is our life now. It sucks but we just have to get on with it eh?
- That's great news @kmakm That was one less worry you needed although hope you can get on top of the aches and pains soon. xo
- Kmakm , just saw your post.
You poor thing, this stuff really sucks, any ache, twinge or the slightest pain our brains go into overdrive. Probably feel any discomfort more at night as our bodies are more relaxed.
Im so happy everything has come back good, Yah!
Take a deep breath now knowing it’s nothing to worry about.
