Hi
Yes Thoracic pain is a big deal for me too, although all's relatively well at the moment.
I can totally relate to the waking up in agony thing. Things are so bad at times I cannot turn over or get out of bed as everything is locked and stiff.
Your ribs are probably sharing the inflammation right now, and will hurt more anyway since your probably holding yourslef differently, and working other areas.....
I know it hurts, but if you can stretch the area a little... I cross my arms over my chest, with hands on opposite shoulders, and gently tip to one side then the other.
I do hope you can find some good advice, and get some relief soon
