I've had slipping rib syndrome for about 7 years now. I have injured a ligament that holds the costovertebral joint @ Th.8 (between my shoulderblades). It happened in the gym on some kinda rowing machine. after the injury I've experienced extreme muscle spasms for over a year around my trapezius, neck, shoulder area, etc.. I've seen over three dozen docs and none of them was able to give me a diagnosis except one chiropractor who discovered a whole bunch of trigger points in my back through palpation. he told me I have a blocked costovertebral joint at Th.8 getting my back cracked by a chiropractor gives me temporary relief, but my injured rib always pops back out of its original position due to the ligament weakness. I can pop my rib back into place with my right shoulderblade, but that kinda hurts. I don't know exactly which of the following ligaments are injured: Ligament costotransversarium laterale, ligament intertransversarium, ligament costotransversarium superius, ligament capitis costae radiatum) all I know for sure is that at least one of those ligaments was completely or partially torn or its just chronically overstretched. I've done a whole bunch of MRI's, CT and x-rays. I've come to a point where I've gotten used to the stabbing pain in my upper back. It's definitely not as painful as the constant muscle soreness. I've found out that my back muscles are trying to take over the function of the injured ligament(s) in order to stabilize the back and therefore they become chronically and extremely contracted. Thorough back muscle massages help weakening my symptoms. but if I want to heal the root of my problem, I will have to try PROLOTHERAPY. I will try it in a week or two and I will post some results if you guys are interested.. i wish you all the best!!! hello everyone.

I've been having issues on the right side (dominant hand) and my PT says that my top two ribs are displaced. Been having achy pain and tightness for about 6 months. Writing, working on the computer and needlework all make it worse. Have always had back, neck and shoulder issues, but nothing this persistant before. It's making my life miserable as needlework has always been my personal form of stress relief and now I can't do that without pain. Strangely enough, things that you think would bother it don't . Like running the sweeper. I go to a D.O. and a chiropractor, they adjust me, I feel better for 2 or 3 days, but the ribs always slip back out. Can't afford to go to the Dr. 3 times a week. Wish that I could figure out how to put them back myself. PT is teaching body mechanics, but not sure it is helping. PT thinks it's tight muscles pulling the rib out of place and that correct posture and stretching will correct the problem. Does anybody have any thoughts.

I've been doing them for the past month and they make a HUGE difference. Sometimes I have to get up and do them in the middle of the night till I get some pain relief, but they do seem to get whatever is slipped out of place back where it belongs. I've even been able to sleep on my stomach for the first time in over a year. Jan I haven’t been back for a while but I wanted to thank Bobbie for the exercises posted in June.

I'd love to hear/read some first hand accounts of patients who have tried this. Has either ‘MMF’ who posted on June 20, or anyone else reading this blog actually tried prolotherapy?

I will add you to my prayers when praying for myself with this horrible pain.. Mine is a bit different (I think?) Started about a year ago, got worse until now it has stayed. I am just now realizing that it isn't just going to go away and that something is really wrong and I need to find out what. I have had these pains, but what is hurting so bad is my ass :) My hip, pelvic bone, somewhere inside there something is killing me! Left side, not my back at all, and now radiating down my leg and even my foot hurts the past week. I was thinking circulatory problem since I don't remember doing anything to pull a muscel or something. I was feeling great one day, doing all the things I do, and now like another person said, can't carry groceries without making it worse for days. Even sex...did I say that? Crap, can't imagine life without that :) Hubby says I should visit a chiropractor so I will try that as a first step. What I wanted to know from you or anyone who may know...is how can your pancreas or liver cause pains like these? Far as I know, no problems here with either and I hope it isn't disease related of course, but wondered. Thanks and I'll be praying for miracles for us all! Hi.
