I am 68 years old and I am having been hurting from my back 9th rib all around my body to my chest bone. Burning, stinging and a knot in my back. I fell on an escalator Nov 4, 1916 and no doctor has been able to help me. I have had x-rays, ct-scans MRI upper and lower and many more test. Went to doctor, Thoracic surgeon, pain dr. and neurologist. The neurologist surgeon had the MRI done and he found C2-3-4-5- messed up but on my left side. He has scheduled neck surgery for 9-11-17 but says he can t promise that the surgery will help my rib. I did break and shatter the right 9th rib on 12-3-1991 and had surgery to repair it. When I fell on the escalator didn t hurt until 3-4 days and then it hurt just like in 1991. Test showed the rib has degenerated and spots on both lungs that wasn t seen before. I also have fibromyalgia, sleepapnea, diabetes, total left knee replacement, breast surgery but was calcifications, skin cancer spot on face and head, teeth have disentergrated, and I am waiting until after rib pain is taken care of to have Cateracts in both eyes taken out ( dr,. said they are ready) and 2 root canals. Getting old is so bad. I just want to go somewhere that will consider all my problems and help me. I also have lung problems due to diesel fumes exposure. I am trying to fill out forms to go to the MAYO CLINIC IN JACKSONVILLE, FA. Please can you help me? sORRY FOR MISSPELLING ETC. I thought you were a DR. from MAYO CLINIC
