Adding to the above comment, the osteopath told me that it was going to release the synovial fluid in my spine to help it get to my brain.

Hi, I am a tall, thin woman 5 foot 9 1/2 inches and weigh about 128 pounds, I had an osteopath do a treatment told me where he took my ribs. Squeeze them really hard together while I breathe in since then I have had excruciating rib pain when I go to get off of bed is under my armpit deep in my armpit, it was so bad. I thought I was having a heart attack, and the ambulance came, the paramedics said there was very little space between my rooms, but then he had to run because he had another patient. I went to the hospital. They did an x-ray of my ribs and then they did a bunch of heart tests and told me my heart was fine, but that made me come back and do a stress test, and the cardiologist that I was good and why was I there so I told him about my ribs and how badly it hurt it hurts so bad I couldn’t get dressed to go to the hospital, even with help from the paramedics. I asked the cardiologist to just to order me a MRI as I didn’t know what else to ask for he ordered it but was concerned because I have breast implant that I couldn’t get a MRI or something, but I know it has nothing to do with that. It is my ribs. I can feel it . Any time I try, I get stabbing pain. It makes me cry. I am going to Physio, Chiropractor and the osteopath is still treating my head as I had had brain surgery, but all that being said, the pain isn’t going away and it has been since October 29 when I went to the hospital I’ve had four of those painful attacks before then, but was alone and just cried through them my husband was home on the last one and that’s why the ambulance was called because he was really scared that I was having a heart attack. But people aren’t taking me seriously, and I don’t know what to do. The reason I’m writing to you, is you seem to know exactly about this pain? Maybe you can help me with something to say to the doctors so they will help me. They just gave me hydromorphone 2 mg and said I can take five of them a day plus a muscle relaxant . Maybe you can tell me something to say so they will help me. It is so painful and it’s scary. I am a 68 year-old woman, but I walk daily and exercise daily so I am in the same shape as I was when I was 25. I wear the same size clothes But because I appear fit I think they don’t take me seriously that the pain is so bad. Please tell me what to do.😢
