Re: Pain/discomfort on radiated side (ribs?) when waking up

Marcia,

I also had rib pain on my affected side during rads and for almost a year after I finished the tx. It seems to be a common long term SE. One article I read said that the rads caused an "arthritis like" inflammation around the ribs, which was responsible for the pain. Hope that helps, and best of luck to you with your scan.
