Left pain is usually diverticulitis for me, or i know what my fibromyalgia is kicking in. I usually take a hot bath with Epsom salts and it helps the pain stop for fibromyalgia.

I’ll have to try the Epsom salt bath. It would probably help some of my other aches and pains.

I’ve had pain in my ribs on the left side for quite some time now. It almost feels like they’re bruised I meant to mention it to my GP or rheumatologist but never seemed to remember. I just started a note list on my note app on my phone, now if I just remember to use it for my appointment.

Did you start a new med? I've had a few meds that caused it and had to stop taking them.

Please be examined, Denise, to ensure nothing else is going on--urgently if you have other symptoms with this.
