I had a Nissen fundoplication 2 yrs ago. Ever since, my left rib hurts. The degree of pain has never changed. I had some incidents: a month ago, I had a chair massage. She pressed deeply on my left back and I passed out immediately. 6 mos bf that, I was walking around a flower nursery when suddenly, at 1 or 2 min intervals, I had a sharp pain in my left chest, lost control of my left leg muscles and started to involuntarily fall down. I grabbed onto the flower boxes to keep from going down. Strange, right?
