I had myocarditis 10 months ago. Now the specialists are happy with my heart but it has left me with sharp stabbing chest pains called costrocondritus it's also left me with: left arm pain and weakness, left neck pain, left shoulder and back pain. Also some left leg problems. There are some rights sided chest pains too. I also have problems with fine finger movements, tingely fingers on left hand and maybe consentration.
These are all worse when I am tired, use my left arm, lift things, turn my body or head, seat belt on my chest, drive, reach for things, sit on hard chairs, sit or lay with pressure through left shoulder and sometimes walking. The more I do the worse chest pains are.
The pains got better when I didn't use my left arm but now it's stronger I naturally move it more, resulting in much worse chest pains.
Drs just advice don't do things that cause the pain and ibuprofen tablets or gel.
If this sounds familiar or you have any advice on how to manage Costrocondritus pain I would love to hear from you.
