Thank you for your response. Do you have any idea what the problem might be as far as the pain goes? I have had this for almost a year and it is driving me crazy. It is not always painful, but occasionally. It almost feels like something is in the wrong place or there is something extra between my rib cage and pelvic bone. I have everyone perplexed!
