Could Thoracic Scoliosis And Arthritis Cause Pain In Ribs, Neck, Feet And Muscle Spasms?
I have pain in ribs,neck, hips, bottom of feet, muscle spasms, on treatment of Cymbalta, and have had a diagnosis of thoracic scoliosis, and C5 mild arthristis, I believe that I do have them, but wonder if there is something else that has not been recognized, If I take my finger and just press firmly on my ribs.lower back/sides of inside legs by knees, I can hit the roof.

Hello,
Your symptoms could related to a connective tissue disorder. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your doctor and performing some tests:
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- FR levels for RA
- uric acid plasma levels
- vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
