Re: pain under ribs

Hi Cher. These pains are always such a worry.I have had a pain in my left leg for quite a while (months and months actually) I had a few falls in the last six months and I thought it probably just a sprain. I went to my family doctor when I initially fell and she didn't seem to think there was a problem. I also figured because of the Femera I always have so many aches and pains so that could be why also. Anyway the pain kept on so we decided to do a bone scan, she felt there would be nothing worrisome on it but we needed to do it. So the last few days I have been waiting for the results and today the secretary called and said the bone scan showed no metastases (yahoo!) but I do have healing from a fractured rib. Holy cow. I did take a tumble in the forest in Victoria in September when my niece took me on a "survivor man hike" (just kidding). Anyway I guess on that fall I did fracture a rib and I didn't even know it. I guess with all my aches and pains I didn't notice it that much. Wow I must have a high pain threshold. Anyway after this long rambling message what I feel is that if the pain persists have it looked at and then you can relax. Take care Lois.
