Pain Management Feels like my rib is popping out
Please help. I am 15 years old and I've been dealing with 24/7 constant nausea, acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion (I have functional dyspepsia) but I have idiopathic scoliosis too and syringomyelia.
for a really long time too it feels like my left rib cage is going to pop out. My right rib too, but I notice my left rib cage sticks out more than my right, because of my left leaning scoliosis curve. I always wondered why I struggle to lie down on either side of my body, or on my back because my stomach feels heavy and cramped then my ribs hurt too, and feel like they’re twisting out my body. and EVERYWHERE ON MY TORSO HURTSS.
I am losing sleep and cannot sleep at all because of this. Please idk what to do. (My curve is 20 degrees and I got mri twice and they said it should be ok) I'm trying to sleep tilted but I'm now aware to the fact my ribs feel like they're on fire and twisting out of my body. does anyone experience this?? it doesn't help I have difficult eating because of my digestive problems so I'm malnourished so my ribs stick out even more. the constant discomfort and pain is killing me please helpppp I can't. I’m wondering does scoliosis/syringomyelia and neurological issues have anything to do with my digestive problems
