LIVING WITH COPD

Good afternoon.

I was diagnosed in 2009, I have been doing very well with breathing.

I went bowling four times a month, had exercise classes three times a week. Also love to sing and dance.

However things changed drastically this year 2020. I have only been hospitalized twice for flair ups (my words) in (2014-2020).

After I was discharged I began to notice I was wheezing and short of breath, and my RIBS ached all the time. It feels like a nagging soreness/pain something I had not experienced.

Lastly I am not singing, dancing or bowling. However I found on YouTube exercising for people impacted with COPD.

I wonder does anyone else experience pain in their RIBS?
