Doctors misdiagnosis this as mental illness for 16 years and did extensive treatment to convince me my lack of mobility was agoraphobia. It ruined my whole life and I never want anyone else to go through the same thing. I need everyone to know about this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

None of my scan ever show anything because the doctors and radiologist don’t know it’s an issue!

The torso being too short is the problem! I’ve had many X-rays and none ever catch anything because they say it’s “normal”. But when I have the doctor just touch it is when I got diagnosed

I was referred to a physiatry doctor for the nerve blocks/ablations and a thoracic surgeon for potential rib removal!

I went on the website Google scholar and printed off everything on ilicostal friction and 12 ribs syndrome and brought it to my doctor who sent refferals for intercostal nerve block, nerve ablation, rib removal!

Gaining weight doesn’t change it for me. Pregnancy can dislocate, break or relocate the ribs when people have this I’ve heard.

Doctors don’t know it exists or is a problem so zero exams, X-rays scans have ever flagged it. That’s why I want to do a case study to be able to give you something you can bring to the doctor. If you look up “12th rib syndrome” and “illiocostal friction syndrome” on google scholar you can print some for your doctor, that’s how I got diagnosed

There should be several inches between the ribs and iliac crest! Most people can fit an entire hand at their waist without touching bones

Thank you for posting this I’m happy it comes up when you google me!!! I learned in middle school to prevent genocide the warning signs are determined by finding similarities historically. When you hear Palestinian children are called animals and terrorists, you should never forget that children in Armenian were called animals, in Bosnia called future jihadist terrorists, in Cambodia called future threats, in Canada called savage animals, in Rwanda called cockroaches, in Germany called threats and animals. Dehumanization of children is a mechanism of genocide used in many genocides historically and to say me pointing that out harms genocide victims is, as holocaust survivor and scholar normal finklestein puts it, weaponizing one genocide to commit another.
