While I can't identify w/all of your symptoms, I do sympathize with you on the rib pain. I started having this problem around three years ago. My doctor put me on Indocin, which caused extreme stomach pain, and most likely and ulcer and then on Darvocet N-100. I have had several x-rays and it was reccomended that I have a bone scan if pain was not relieved. In the end, diagnonsis was costochondroma, which basically means swelling and soreness in the ribs. Inflammatories work well for this. Good luck hope things work out for you.
