Does anyone experience rib pain with their osteoporosis

Posted by mathompson @mathompson, Dec 13, 2024

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?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@teedlum

I would do the same as you have chosen. Have you looked into what the data shows for when women started having so much osteoporosis? I just wonder if it is a loss of estrogen. After they started to deny giving us estrogen in pill form so it would help with all of the estrogen receptors we have throughout our bodies.
Wishing you and well all of us the best.

Greetings to all of you members with rib pain. I was quite overwhelmed as I was reading each of your posts. I didn't realize that so many of us might be attempting to deal with something so frequent and difficult to manage. I have had small fiber neuropathy for years. In the last few years, my therapists have encountered rib pain on the right side while attempting to control numbness and pain in my left foot and ankle. I frequently am forced to place my hand tightly on the right side of the ribs until the therapists have completed their work on the ankle. Once I get dressed and walk out to the car the pain begins to drift away. I have a therapy session on Thursday and will try once more to understand what is going on. Hopefully I will understand this time and be able to share their analysis with you.

May you be free of discomfort.
Chris

Thank you Chris! Please do.
What type of doctor diagnosed you with small fiber neuropathy?
Wishing you well

@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.

@windyshores I am happy to see that Tymlos brought you back to borderline at -2.5. I have been wondering if this shot is really going to work and if it will be worth it. My T score was -2.7 a couple of years ago and now it is -4.5. I am 59 (going to be 60).

Great to see that it has worked for someone. Thank you for sharing!
