Hi everyone, I'm new here and was just diagnosed with sarcoidosis in August. My question is has anyone experienced rib/side pain with this disease?

I'm not sure how long I've had sarcoidosis, but I've had left side pain for over 3 years now. It's a sharp/stabbing pain only on the left side when i make certain movements such as bending over and standing back up. It also is painful to the touch on the lower "floating" rib. I'm worried maybe my spleen or pancreas is enlarged, or it's something worse and unrelated to the sarcoid.

Any input would be appreciated!

    My sister suffered pain in her left side associated with, what she thought to be a rib sticking out, when she moved her upper body in certain positions. I watched her suffer with it multiple times before and after her diagnosis. It was like she had to hold her breathe to get through it and the rib or whatever it was sticking out would lay flat again. She complained of pain in her side for several years.
