I curious. I am wondering if anyone else gets pain in his/her "core" If you have even done Pilates or have read on fitness training you know what I mean. It's the center of your being.

I am only allowed to work part time right now. I am thankful. If I try to work longer than 4 hours, I get this ache. I had my doctor check it out and my joint at the base of the ribs has inflammation. However, it seems to be more than that. maybe it radiates out. But it seems like when I can do no more, I feel really bad in the area around my diaphragm.

Any comments?

Thanks,
PT

Could it be costochondritis caused by Bartonella? I have bilateral costochondritis, which can cause a variety of aches and pains. My ribs just a ache at times. It can feel like something wrapped around me squeezing my rib cage. It can also feel tender the the touch. It can feel somewhat like it is in the middle. I'm not sure if that is what you're feeling.

That's very interesting. I do know someone with this wrapped around feeling. I don't have Bart. But she might. Thanks!

No problem. I wish I had a suggestion for you. Maybe someone else will know. :)

I have a tightness around the rib cage - in the front. I was wondering if it was bart.

Sometimes when I try to take a deep breath, I get tremors in that area...(it kind of shakes)

Bump.

I also think Babesia might affect my ribs too. Babesia can cause chest wall pain. I definitely get that too. Babesia and Bart both affect red blood cells and can cause somewhat similar issues. Bart tends to aggravate Neuro symptoms. However, Babesia can make Lyme symptoms worse overall. They both cause cause anxiety. Bart can cause irritability. Babs can cause fear. They have subtle differences. Unfortunately, it is not too uncommon to have both.

I did pilates for a few years before I started Lyme treatment. I know what you mean by core.
I also have costochondritis, but that pain goes all around the torso, like a belt that's being tightened.
Is it a very uneasy feeling just below the sternum? Whenever I get that, I can't lay on my stomach, there's some kind of intense pressure.

If it's a bit towards the right, it might be your gall bladder or liver struggling...
