I wonder what bone mets feel like too. I had a bone scan last summer after having off and on pain in ribs. The scan indicated previous fractures on both sides. Since that time my right side has stopped bothering me, but left side (mast side) continues to have pain/soreness off and on. Sometime more severe than other times. So like Angela asks, can the pain come and go, or is it constant?
