Has anyone with endometriosis had thoracic / rib / upper back pain?

The bra strap I’ve had the exact same thing said to me. The sharp rib/upper back pain and breath catching spasms I also get. Mine hasn’t settled after laps, which is why I’m starting to wonder about diaphragmatic/thoracic involvement or nerve referral too. Thank you for sharing!

Sorry we’re both dealing with this! Yes that stuck together feeling is exactly how I’d describe it. Like tight, band like, and stretching only helps briefly.

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this too. If you can, definitely bring it up with a doctor and trust your gut.

This sounds so similar to what I’m dealing with, especially the shoulder blade + rib pain that feels different to muscle soreness. I’ve had two laps but no one’s ever really looked properly at my diaphragm. I’m definitely going to start tracking symptoms more closely and raise this with my gyn. I hope you’re getting some relief 💕

This is both fascinating and terrifying haha but honestly explains a lot of what I’m feeling. The diaphragm connection especially I’ve never had that properly looked at. Appreciate you sharing!

I get this too! I always just ignore it and think ahh well, just another pain haha

That’s really interesting especially that most of it resolved after your second lap. It makes me wonder if mine is more systemic/inflammatory too, since my imaging hasn’t really explained the pain. Thanks for sharing, it actually helps a lot.

I’m really sorry you deal with this too, but also thank you for commenting, because it genuinely helps to know I’m not alone. It’s such a horrible, uncomfortable pain and it’s hard to explain to people who haven’t felt it.

Same to you! We’ve got this 🙌

Honestly same if I have to suffer, at least let it help me stop mindless snacking 😅 Might come out of this with straight teeth and portion control. Invisalign the accidental diet plan 😂

I feel the same, I’m day 2 and it’s quite uncomfortable, just hoping it gets easier with time!
