I'm 34 and have been in pain for 8 years. For me it's my thoracic back and rib area on the right side. It's undiagnosed...no one can figure out what's wrong. That's probably the hardest part...not knowing what's wrong and therefore not knowing how to fix it. I keep thinking if we could name it then we could fix it....but that's probably not true. As many of you have experienced, knowing what you have and treating it didn't make you pain-free. I also used to have severe pelvic pain....endometriosis. I ended up having a hysterectomy this past fall and that seems to have ended the pelvic pain....for that I am grateful....though I did hope that maybe my back pain was related to that and would end too. I guess you can't have everything you wish for! I wish for low pain days for all of you out there....and even some pain-free moments, which I know for many of us is just a dream. Keep dreaming!!
