@beebox55 You may want to consult a physical therapist who does myofascial release. The fascia can be tight restricting movement and compressing body parts. I have this situation because of thoracic outlet syndrome, and it does cause one side of my chest to be too tight which can restrict my breathing. We don't all have the same patterns of tissue tightness. Here is our discussion on myofascial release where there is a lot of information. I do MFR and it helps me a lot to regain normal movement and correct body alignment. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/ Not all doctors will know or acknowledge this treatment, so don't give up if your doctor doesn't recognize it. See what you think. Tight fascia causes my ribs to twist a bit and it hurts until she fixes them.

@jenniferhunter how many sessions would it usually take for you? I just had my first MFR session today for twisting sharp pin in my ribs that has been present off and on for years and constant for months.
