And directly after cancelling my appointment it came back. I am frustrated. Today I had an attack of pain in my ribs on both sides.

I have decided this has to be something else and I am now wondering about menopause.

This entire year I have had so many issues with my back or my torso.. I suspect that either my muscles are tighter or I have more pain due to menopause.

Another big hint is my breasts are sensitive -- and even when I was premenopausal I didn't have that problem.
