Great to know. It could be connective tissue that was attached to ribs. Whatever it is, when I take a deep breath it feels like a vice grip tightens.
When i have reason to take Prednisone (like an RA flare), it doesn't just improve, it disappears. Wish I knew what that implies.

I feel the same way too. I had gone for a pet scan and they found a tumor sitting on my 10th rib. So tomorrow I start radiation for 10 days. I had lung cancer seven years ago they had taken out my upper left lobe I’m just hoping and praying the radiation works and takes this pain away so I can get back to my life. I hope you feel better real soon.
