Thank you Rene for the information. So sorry to hear that the medicines are not providing much relief. I’ve just started Gabapentin. 🤞🦋🌸

Yes, I have pain under my rib cage on the left side that is pretty annoying. I wish I could find a way to get some relief from it. Usually when I cough a lot.

Interesting reading about the ribs. rib cage pain. For me I thought it was from using the Hill Rom Vest and did stop for now. After I stopped using it I no longer had/have that pain. However, it also could have been from the way I was working to bring up the mucus plugs during the time I was using the vest or maybe working to hard while nebulizing etc. I will have to pay attention now that I think I have a better understanding of how one does the huff cough etc. etc. to bring up the mucus plugs. Glad this subject was brought up. Thanks, Barbara
