I am 56 years old and I have been bothered with chest/rib area pain for about six years.....all tests I have had in those years have come back negative. Last time I seen a doctor about this was about 2 years ago and he said I may have to live with it. I also now in the last two years belch all the time....I never burped hardly ever before. My chest/rib area always feels swollen when the pain comes .....I seem to have more bad days than good days anymore.......Any ideas?
