Slipping Rib Syndrome - My journey (PRE OP)

Музыка

In this video I'm talking about my 14 year long journey toward (finally) being diagnosed with Slipping Rib Syndrome (SRS).
For as long as I can remember, I've experienced both sharp and dull pain caused by my ribs. As an early teenager I went to see all kinds of doctors, neurologists, orthopedists, physical therapists and so on. I had x-rays done and I was first told to work out more, and then to stop working out. No one could or would solve the question of the mysterious pain I was experiencing. Some even told me it was all in my head. After a few years I gave up in the seeking of being diagnosed and finding a way out of the pain, I simply learned to live with it.
When I was 25 I randomly met a naprapath at a party, and there started the actual journey of me being diagnosed. It's now about a year later and I am about to have surgery to remove the slipping cartilages that's causing my pain.
I've had two ultrasounds done, one to out rule the probabilities of anything else being wrong, and one in order to help diagnosing SRS. I've also had a cat scan done and will be running a lot of tests before surgery.
This is my first ever youtube video, so bare with me! ;-)

    It is really sad how today you must google your own diagnose and then keep looking for a doctor who actually knows basics of his job enough to aknowledge your condition. You have such obvious condition and they send you home with painkillers 🤬 It seems to me that patients today often know more about such conditions than so-called professionals. Outrageous.

    i agree. i understand that not every doctor knows everything about every condition there is, but they SHOULD listen to their patients and when it comes to “rare” conditions as these, at least be intrigued to find out more about it!!

    Thank you for posting, It's good to hear you have surgery booked soon. Suffering for so many years with this would not have been easy. I play Rugby Union and got hit on my ribs 2 months ago and i have some idea of the pain you go through. When the muscles around that area lock up and its like being stabbed in your ribs. In my case its not SRS but its really good you posting about this as more people need to know so they can get proper treatment. Please post another video after surgery if you can.

    I concur with your doctor stories. All kinds of doctors I went to told me I had a kidney stone. They never could find the kidney stone with every imaging device there was. They decided I was trying to pass a kidney stone for 5 years. My pain would contract/squeeze on the ride side of my back ribs. On the scale of 1-10 pain scale it was a 65. Only last year a brilliant physical therapist I went to told me why my ribs would contract. He said my ribs were trying with all their power to keep my ribs still and in place. In over 10 years, not one doctor touched my back or ribs, they would just send me for tests or say I was lying about the pain to get drugs. Finally after I explained my pain to a doctor in a tiny town, he pressed on my ribs and the pain was horrendous! With no hesitation, he said: "It is your ribs." So it wasn't a 5 year old kidney stone...worthless fools! A few months ago, I found out there is a doctor that Hansen from West Virginia University trained to do the Hansen procedure in my state of Oregon! I am fighting my insurance to go to her. I live 3 hours from Bend, Oregon where she is. I have been tortured by this pain for over 15 years. It is a crime how doctors treat SRS sufferers.

    I have been dealing with the same issues for the last 7 years I only have it on my left side though. My ribs also look like yours, I got to use a lot too about them. I've noticed that lately it has gotten really bad it's been terrible for this last week and I can't do anything and it's awful. For years I tried to tell doctors how much it hurt and they kept telling me that nothing was wrong with me as well. I hope your surgery goes well or if you already had it I hope it went good. I really hope that there is a solution for this because it's probably the most awful thing I've ever had to live with.

    This is such an awful thing to bear. You are super brave girl! I really want to know how your feeling after your surgery? I found this video because I thiiiink I have this going on and none of the doctors I have seen are helping so far. One thought it was pleurisy and another just residual soreness from having bronchitis at least 8 weeks ago but I know neither of those are right. Today the pain is so so severe and the anti-inflammatory drugs aren’t doing anything or any pain relievers. I did the hook maneuver test on myself and it intensified the pain sooooo so horribly to an extreme level. I’ll finish my dose of anti-inflammatory but if it doesn’t go away then I’ll have to see somebody again although I have no idea what kind of doctor to go see? They all keep telling me it’s just soreness but it’s def not. There is something else going on and everything else has checked out with my organs from any x-rays and scans. I just hope to get something done soon 😰😢 I can’t imagine having this for years and years! How awful. I am so sorry for you

    Thank you for the video! I’ve been trying to do so much research cause for 7 years I been dealing with this pain and been told I have back spasms or my ribs were probably just bruised and been given muscle relaxers or pain killers with nothing help. Many times if I jusy breath a certain way I hear a popping or cracking and it’s like I always feel this uncomfortable pain and then at times it gets super bad. And the pain goes to where I have super bad upper back pain on same side.and now it just feels like it’s getting worst where at times I’m sitting studying and actually feels like my rib is out of place. And now when I have the pain it actually looks like something is poking out and is swollen and super tender. And at times it feels like theres tightness on my chest. At time I felt crazy crying and just wanting to feel normal again without always have to feel this weird uncomfortable dull pain. Idk if it is slipping rib syndrome but ur video helped give me so much info. I hope ur doing better and please continue to post content on ur journey !

    @@ljungkvistt No. In fact it is not only the denial of slipping rib syndrome, it is that no one gives a damn. Even worse I am stuck on steroids for the rest of my life because the "doctors" kept telling me my insomnia was not because of the steroids and the one asshole that should have helped me with the referral I needed did not, because I was confrontational, and did not accept his diagnosis. I have never met a more narcissistic group of "professionals" who don't have any idea how their "medications" work. I have case study after case study to prove what I'm saying, but I am shouted down, called an "angry person", laughed at, yes they laughed at me when I addressed the steroid related side effects I suffer from. The rib has cleared up pretty good post Covid, but it still hurts if I do anything. Best of luck, your story is an inspiration to all of us suffering at the hands of myopic imbeciles.

I get severe rib pain which walking makes pain worse because I can’t walk I’m in a wheelchair to help me go out for fresh air. I’m moving to a new area and hopefully seeing a new doctor will take this seriously and do x rays anything to see what’s going on and why I’m suffering with this pain urgh it’s a nightmare as I keep searching online my symptoms which say it’s either fibromyalgia or gall stones but gall bladder is healthy so not sure what this is

I hope you get a diagnosis and I would love to hear how it goes for you :)

    no i didn’t, i just randomly met one at a party and he said i should read up about it. i tried workouts and i’ve been to many physical therapists, unfortunately workouts have nerves worked for me. i would have preferred to not have to have surgery but now that one side is “done” i feel confident that i made the right decision 🌸

    In the surgery are they removing part of a rib or securing them in place together? I’ve heard of both solutions being done.

    I’m glad you are going to get the surgery. I really hope it relieves your pain. My daughter has slipping rib and she’s 16. The pain is mild so far and I hope it stays that way. We have thought about going across the country to see a well known surgeon but she’s not ready to explore that option yet. Good luck with your surgery and I hope to see a follow up video in a couple months that shows all is much better!

    @@ljungkvistt That's me! I've had this mystery pain for years and it started after a car accident. It mimics gastritis, IBS, GERD with the burning pain, etc. been told it's psychosomatic. This condition can be easily documented with having the person do a crunch motion under ultrasound and if the bones move too much during the motion, it confirms it. No doctor is willing to perform this test though.
