Chronic Pain In Ribs, Tender To Touch, Pain Spreading To Back, Shoulders, Blurred Vision, Facial Numbness. Cure?

I have had chronic rib bone pain steadily worsening and spreading for about the past two years. It used to only hurt at night in the bottom front and side of the right ribs. It is tender to touch the bones. The pain as now spread to the back and intermittenly speads to the shoulder and down to the knee. I also have been diagnosed recently with palpitations. I dont know what to have looked at to try to get diagnosed. I am ony 20. I also have extremly painful muscle spams throughout my body. Blurred vision facial numbness and dizziness that causes falls. Please help

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The chronic rib pain that you are having with the facial numbness could be due to a nerve related symptom. This could be related to a vitamin B 12 deficiency, electrolyte imbalance, muscle spasms or a thyroid hormone imbalance.
