I have pain everywhere, and one serious pain currently and for years is in the are of the last rib that extends to the sternum. I had my gall bladder out about 30 years ago because of this pain. The bladder was inflamed, but otherwise OK. This did not stop the pain. Pain in this area, according to M.A. Gertz and Angela Dispenzieri, of Mayo, may be related to some form of Amyloidosis, probably from an enlarged liver or other organ. Have your doctor order a SERUM Free Light Chain protein assay and a 24-hour urine collection and protein assay., from Mayo/Bindings. It is probably not this, but at this point you need to be certain. Only an early diagnosis can help you combat the deadly disease.
