After an intense massage i am having major rib cage pain. i have fm but never with rib cage pain. it's been 3 wks. no better. is this a part of fm?

Maybe: A lot of fms trigger and tender points are on the rib cage (front and back). The intense massage may have triggered some of them. So you may get pain with deep inhalation/exhalation. You may need to go on course of pain relievers or Medrol (methylprednisolone) pack (tapered steroids) (if tolerated) to reduce the inflammation in the muscles btw your ribs.
