I have been recently diagnosed with slipped rib syndrome. It has taken a year to get the diagnosis. After many CT scans, x-rays, MRIs. along with ER visits from being in so much pain. I am happy to connect with someone else that understands. It baffles me that more doctors don't know about this condition. And finding someone to treat it is another issue. I will be following your post and surely hope the treatment that the Doctor at WV did will give you some much needed relief. I live in NM and after talking to my spine Dr. was left disappointed since he had no recommendations. I have been working with a wonderful PT but the relief is minimal and I am limited by what exercises I can do without causing more rib irritation. My question for Aimee is, did you try any kind of injections before deciding to do the surgery? Thank you.
