In this video I'm talking about my 14 year long journey toward (finally) being diagnosed with Slipping Rib Syndrome (SRS).

For as long as I can remember, I've experienced both sharp and dull pain caused by my ribs. As an early teenager I went to see all kinds of doctors, neurologists, orthopedists, physical therapists and so on. I had x-rays done and I was first told to work out more, and then to stop working out. No one could or would solve the question of the mysterious pain I was experiencing. Some even told me it was all in my head. After a few years I gave up in the seeking of being diagnosed and finding a way out of the pain, I simply learned to live with it.

When I was 25 I randomly met a naprapath at a party, and there started the actual journey of me being diagnosed. It's now about a year later and I am about to have surgery to remove the slipping cartilages that's causing my pain.

I've had two ultrasounds done, one to out rule the probabilities of anything else being wrong, and one in order to help diagnosing SRS. I've also had a cat scan done and will be running a lot of tests before surgery.

This is my first ever youtube video, so bare with me! ;-)
