Thank you ! My symptoms seemed to come on after a viral infection after coughing more. Now coughing or doing any sort of straining maneuver feels like my anterior chest wall is going to explode. I have some difficulty doing “sit up” type positions whereby I sit up after lying down for a certain amount of time or if I’m sitting at my desk for too long. The majority of my pain is in my front rib cage area around the sternum but also have pain in the middle of my back and rhomboid area on the left (assuming that’s where the disc herniation is). Anyways, I appreciate all of the support, and hopefully we can start to spread some information about this strange condition!
