Rib cage tightness: My hiatal hernia? MS?

I have been experiencing the same thing and also for about 4-5 years. I think that it could be due to the myofascial knots that form in the fascia. I have been wondering if any kind of vibratory therapy would work? My doctors have been of little help to me. I really would like to know how you are doing? I've come across this problem a lot from different people on the Internet but they didn't have any more idea what to do. I'd really like to know if you find any relief.
Sometimes I feel like I just can't go on like this!
Thankyou - GDanker

Have you had them X-rayed? Because when I broke a bunch of ribs, 3 of one side, then 3 on the other, to me, it felt like a tighteness (among other things). When bones get brittle, you can break your own ribs by exerting too much.

@gdanker that's really strange. I have advanced MS and we call that squeezing tightness the MS hug and it hurts like hell!!! I'm sorry that that's happening to you, but you need to talk to your doctor and have him explore that more.
