deep pain in ribs and multiple lumps

hello my partner has had deep pain in his ribs, pushing into his back and round the sides of his body and now he has multiple small lumps, which are not visible on the skin but can be felt when pressing on the skin. they move when touched, has little appetite and is in constant pain. i am terrified about this, he has had blood work done and ekg which has came back clear. his main pain relief is heat including a hot shower or a water bottle. if anyone could give any guidenace it would be really appreciated as i am terrified. thank you

  • Hi Jennaa22 and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry you are terrified about the different symptoms that your partner is experiencing. Unfortunately neither we nor anyone here on the forum can give you further guidance. 

    It is good that the tests have so far come back clear, but it is only a doctor who can review,  assess and decide if other further investigations are needed.

    Do tell your partner to go back to the GP and talk his symptoms through.

    Take care Jenna and hopefully you will know more about his situation soon.

    Sarah.
