Thank you for your help. Yes the 10th rib resection resolved the pain. I had it Feb 2013 was in surgical pain still in June of that year. It’s a long recovery but a different pain. Slipping rib was a 10 pain after surgery it was a 7 pain but the pain slowly melted Away and then went away forever. Fortunately I had good insurance and a PCP who believed me and worked to help me solve this problem. I also went back to every doctor who told me I was crazy, drug seeking (I wasn’t taking any drugs)
and did endless wrong tests and procedures and told them about slipping rib. Here it is 2021! There are in-depth discussions I have posted on Reddit started posting there after I saw Dr Hansen surgery on there and other people have posted. I’ve never done Facebook so I don’t post there.
