Does anyone experience rib pain with their osteoporosis
I have osteoporosis and i experience rib pain and sometimes popped cartlidge. I’m doing the evenity shots but this was going on before the shots. Does anyone else have rib pain with their osteoporosis?

@mathompson, welcome to Mayo Connect.
I get rib pain, but I'm not sure it's from the osteoporosis that I also have. We have those two joints with each rib. Sometimes one or two vertebra at the costoverterbral joints usually at T1 and T2 get oriented (stuck) a little sideways, mine to the right. Then the costotransverse joint is displaced (popped?) the rib is raised and rubs against the muscular underneath of the shoulder blade. A foam roller can help, but usually I just see a chirpractor for immediate relief. It may be related to the endless leaves that I'm raking these days. But it might a good excuse to avoid sweeping and vacuuming. Evenity shots are likely to make any joint weakness more painful because of inflammation.
I have rib pain and can't lean against anything because I feel like a rob pops out of place and it lasts for about a week of pain if it happens. My t score is -3.7
I'm not doing shots .I take bone health tabs I'm 59 and found out about 5 year's ago when I fell and crushed my L2.
@blessedsista24 I had three lumbar fractures at -3.7 that are permanently painful and disabling. I was fine before I made one unwise movement. With an L2 fracture your risk is increased for more fractures. I don't wish for you to experience what I have so wonder if you would consider meds. Tymlos brought mine down to borderline -2.5 in 18 months. Believe me I understand your resistance but am just sharing my experience.
That’s me exactly.. I can barely lean over my couch or lift something of a little weight and I feel a pop.
My t score is bad too.. I was getting out of bed the day before thanksgiving and felt a pop and have been sleeping in my recliner since bc I can’t lay flat.. did a dr tell you why that happens?
Thank you for that… my dr started me on the shots evenity.. I have done the reclast and prolia… when I went the other day for my shots the nurse told me that’s not normal to have that popping and to see if my dr will do a ct scan.. I go back in January so I will push for that. My hope is that once I’m done with the envenity and have new bone growth that maybe just maybe it will quit happening 🤷🏻♀️it’s just debilitating
No 😒
Just that I have moving cartlidge.
I had some one pick me up while dancing and crushed my ribs and everyone since that it's been getting worse 😩 I can't even lay on the sand at the beach unless I'm very safe and slow going down and to get a big hug I have to be careful about that as well.
Omg same here.. my mom passed away recently and I had to tell people to hug me gently bc I will break literally… I can’t even stretch in the morning bc it will pop.. Im very careful when I do things. I’m very active and love to work outside but when this happens I’m screwed. I know it’s a good 3 to 4 weeks of pain🥺
Exactly Bending over wrong or pulling something to you .yes I guess we just have learn to live with it.
I’m hoping that when I go in January to my dr that she’ll look into this further… I will keep you posted .. sending gentle hugs..
Same to you and yes stay in touch.
GENTLE HUGS
🙏🙌
