Rib Pain

A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Hi. I have had this burning pain on my rib cage front and back for a couple days.. I have been using the heating pad for some relief..I feel it when I breathe as well. In the morning the pain woke me up. Has anyone experienced this? I have Lupis and Fibromylagia.

Thank you for your answer. I know its not that because I am on day 7 and no rash. I keep checking. I have had shingles multiple times and that was my first thought.

if you start to break out in a rash, it could be shingles. Often when you have a lower immune system it doesnt take a whole lot for this to happen.
