some help in self-diagnosis of pains….
For at least 4 weeks I have been feeling some pain periodically in my lower right-side rib area, sometimes sharp, sometimes just nagging pain. I had first said 'a ha, that must be my ribs rubbing against my pelvis' because they are just about sitting on each other.
But now I'm beginning to wonder: Since realizing just how bad my scoliosis is and the various side effect besides simply the back pain, I'm beginning to wonder if I am now blaming everything on my scoliosis? Two weeks ago, I went to my gp who found a high level of white cells in urine, so although the test itself came back as negative, it may have been a sign of something starting and I went on a 7 day course of anitibiotics…now its all clear. The pangs of pain seemed to ease up but I'm feeling them more intense periodically again.
Do I go back to my gp (who doesn't know/discuss scoliosis) for blood work?
Do I ask Boachie if this can be related to rib/pelvis?
at this point, I am asking this trusted forum first. What do you think?
What does 'rib/pelvis rub pain' feel like?
I am scheduled for surgery Oct 19 and don't want to have it postponed, hence my concern.
thanks
Judy
