What Could Immobilizing Pain In Ribs Indicate, As A Child Had Scolosis?

I m 24. Weigh 100 pound and I m 5 1. I was diagnosed with scolosis when I was ten. Last feb I started getting really bad rib pains which a dr. once told me two year prior that I had sprianed both sides of my ribs. So I thought that maybe it was just sprained again and as it would from time to time. Thie time it was stronger. I was on pain meds for it for months everday to alleviate the pain prob from feb- august. The pain got so bad that I couldnt sit, lay down, and breathing felt the worst. Breathing felt so sharp like someone was stabbing me. I couldnt sleep on my side felt like I couldnt breathe well and a sunking in feeling on the sides. I tried massaging it to see if it was so pain ha. What was I thinking I felt ten times worst. Taking a shower was a mission the pain was intense. Rasing my arms while showering seemed to have helped because there was less weight being put on me. The pain finally feels as if it has gone away. I couldnt do anything when I was like this. I would have to lay down and do nothing so that I could recover. The min I did something got worst. Im a very active person and I would love to go back to that. I havent carried stuff really due to this or been active. Is this my scolosis getting worst or did I break my rib ?

Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* There is definite pathology underlying which may be - rib fracture -
ligament tear - severe costochondritis - neurological issues -
others .

* Lot many narrations have been there for the severity of symptoms
but there is no indication of anything done to diagnosis it !

* Strongly recommend to get x-ray chest and further requirement
may be of MRI if needed .

* Without diagnosis , cure is not possible . So get diagnosis and cure .

Hope this will help you .
