Dear Julie, Hi, no, I don't really have much pain "just below the skin" I do have pain right below the ribs under the skin, but its a little deeper. Still haven't heard from Davis, but my local gyn. is so good to me (keeping my fingers crossed). I'm also having a complete physical and just had a mameogram. Sometimes, we get so hung up on our adhesions that we forget the rest of our body, so my family doctor has ordered tests and I've given lots of blood for all kinds of things just to make sure nothing else is happening. Love and hope you're feeling better. Sally
