Hello @brayimee, I am not familiar with Slipping Rib Syndrome but did find a couple of articles that provide some information on the condition.

Hopefully another member will be able to share their experience with Slipping Rib Syndrome. Are you able to share a little more about the symptoms you are having?

Why is this so hard to diagnose???? I've been to 3 different family physicians, a physiatrist, and have seen a chiropractor and have done PT. Not one of these doctors have even acknowledged slipping rib. I have paid thousands of dollars out of pocket to get no where. I called a thoracic surgeons office today to make an appointment and they won't see me until I go back to my family doctor (for the 30th time!) and have her do (another) exam and a chest xray. I just had a (3rd) time chest xray about a month ago at my doctors, but this thoracic surgeons office will not set an appointment to see me until I go to my doctor AGAIN!!! Are you kidding me??? How much money, time, tears, and frustration does a person have to go through!!!! I am beyond frustrated with the medical system in the USA!!!!

@johnbishop I still have not been diagnosed, but head to WV in a little over a week to be checked and possibly have surgery.
My symptoms are all over. Rib pain. Upper abdomen pain, a lot of GI issues, muscle spasms, nerve pain, my whole alignment is off, but.. All my symptoms are mainly left side. I have mass tension in the body which causes other issues with my muscles.
I have spoken with a handful of people on a Facebook support group called slipping rib syndrome and they all think this is it for me. This is likely the cause of so many issues. I pray everyday this is it and I will get better. Its so depressed not being able to participate in life. Especially when you don't know whats wrong.
