My floating ribs are really annoying.
Sleeping on my side has never been very comfortable because of these stupid bottom ribs - for some reason I feel pinched by them. my hip bones & these strange bones that aren’t attached to anything try to pinch my internal organs unless I fit pillows in the exact correct way between my knees and elbows and lay down in the perfect fetal position. The pillows also keep my knees and elbow from touching because when my bones touch it feels yucky - since I was about 12 I haven’t been able to sleep comfortably without the pillows.
I’ve always been a thin person - so it isn’t that a huge waist is getting constricted between two bones or anything even though I am a bit older and a bit heavier than I was at 20 years old - I am definitely on the thin side still.
Maybe my bones just are more sensitive and I can fell them more - or maybe I am weird for hating the way bones feel. Both of my parents are arthritic - my mom has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was young. I have minor joint pain from time to time - and although I never intentionally crack anything -stuff cracks & pops all the time.
Anyways - here is my general question - is this strange? Could there be some weird medical reason for this? Are there other people who have issues with bones - or floating ribs? I already know I am strange on a mental level - but aren’t we all.
