I've had a pain under my left rib since last July. Numerous gp visits have concluded nothing. I've had chest x ray (showed possible consolidation but clear six weeks later) abdominal scam for major organs, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys etc all fine. Blood tests all fine but still I get this pain. It's there everyday. It doesn't double me up but more like a niggling pain like a pulled muscle. I do worry sometimes it's dime thing more sinister but I've had so many tests. Anyone experienced this? It feels different to the SI joint pain which shoots through me. I did have costochondritis in Sep but it's still here before and after that. I also have ankylosing spondylitis. X

I have the very same thing. Been told it's Costochondritis, but sometimes I get in a right state about it. Numerous docs have told me the same thing. I have a very prominent rib on left side and also my sternum swells up. Have you thought it might be Tietse syndrome?

I have this, Gp has told me twice that is GERD.

Course of omeprazole clears it up.

What is GERD?

Thanks all. I'm on omeprazole every other day for my AS and funnily enough I do get costochondritis with it. I don't have swelling but it's uncomfortable. What is tietse syndrome? X

Ok just looked it up, looks like it's the same as costo but with swelling.
Is Gerd the reflux thing? X
