I'm just asking because that kind of pain sounds exactly like my kidney infections, which can get severe enough to feel like my ribs are sore. Cauda equina type neurogenic bladder problems. Coeliac disease. Sicca syndrome. Ataxic gait and use crutches. Non-specific gut problems. Current treatment: Low dose naltrexone, low starch diet (Guts shredded by NSAIDs. Previously diclofenac worked well, not eligible for anti-tnfs, hypersensitivity to SSZ). Also short bursts of pred for bad flares

Sitting wrong or laying wrong will cause awful muscle spasms. I don't know if it's accurate, but I attribute it to inflammation in my spine. So I suppose standing for extended periods, putting stress on the spine, could cause rib pain. My heating pad helps when this happens. Hope you are doing better. Age 61. AS dx'd at age 57 HLA-B27+,iritis/uveitis periodically since 1970, diabetic Meds. naproxen and muscle relaxer(as needed)

I can often only do about 10 minutes before I need to start moving around or my spine will go into spasm. Shirley Peripheral and axial AS diagnosed October 2011 aged 50, more than 15 years after the symptoms started. Also PCOS, GERD/oesophagitis/dysphagia, IBS, asthma,chronic rhinitis.

So, yes, to your question. Be well, TheWino Cimzia, Methotrexate SQ, Sulfasalazine, Prednisone --Count all your blessings and remember your dreams. J. Buffett
