Besides the horrific pain in my body, there are certain areas that feel like somebody is squeezing it. There is a ton of pressure also. It usually happens in my back. It is not there all of the time like the pain, but it happens quite often. Does anyone else experience this?

It's Horrific some days, I get it in my back & all the way around my rib cage. I believe it is referred to as "banding" It's like an actual Bear give you a squeezing hug, not that I've ever been near a Bear.

It had me in tears again this morning.

In people with MS it's called the MS HUG, & the question is still out there on that one for me "limboland" Please feel better soon.

Probably was fibro related and I was mis-diagnosed because I didn't have gallstones.

If you don't mind me jumping in, I had a hida scan. The doctor called me barely after I was home from the test. I had a stone blocking the common bile duct between gallbladder & liver, it was also very inflamed.

The pain is located in my back and sometimes spreading to my ribs. So far, nothing in the diaphram. I feel like I can't breathe deep or sit for very long. The pain I have daily from fibro is bad enough but when that comes on it scares me even more. Thanks for all the suggestions, keep it coming.
