Rib Arthritis

Turns out the gallbladder surgeon says that though my gallbladder is not functioning properly, my side/rib pain is more likely to be arthritis related to my fibromyalgia. The problem area is on the right side where my lower rib connects to cartilage (I can feel this developing on my left side as well). Good information to know!  And at this time gallbladder surgery is not necessary for me, the surgeon says. .
