Chest psin

[Annab124]

Anyone else find that their chest an ribs hurt to touch??

It could be costochondritis. I’ve seen posts on here in the past about this. I have it, mine is the result of radiotherapy, but I think you can just get it.

I also have pain other places in my body too but it all started at the chest z

Hi Teddy, I have it too...My doctor said it will go away... it seemed to ease up, but I find that it had never gone away. If I am under stress and anxiety...it can be to the point that I am afraid to take a deep breath. What are your feelings about this?

[TeddyC in reply to Lovetoboat]

I tend to think I’ll just have to put up with it. I was warned it could get worse if I catch a cold. How do you feel about it?

My fibro started off as chest wall pain which was diagnosed as costochondritis. I sympathise as it is very painful.x

Yes, mine do. It's not nice, sorry you have to cope with it. Hope you get a restful sleep.

Yes! Very sensitive around the sternum especially when horrible cat decides to walk on me there! I’ve read it’s one of the Fibro pressure / pain points so that explains it. I thought it was just something to do with my lung cancer but no... =D

Nb this doesn’t mean you might have cancer in any way at all.

Hi

You are an inspiration, you've been through so much.

I was diagnosed with costochondritis , I think it's related to my fibro. Please take care Lynne

I have had costochondritis going on 10 years now my doctor put me on a gout medication called colchicine about 2 years ago and it really seems to help. I still get flares where I can't breathe because it's excruciating oh, and God forbid my husband touches me or my kids hug me, but the flares are less frequent now because of the medication . Hope you feel better soon gentle hugs

I also get that - my chest feels tender. I think this is a normal Fibromyalgia symptom.

But I also get chest pain that goes right through me from front to back and hurts when I breathe in, which so far has been diagnosed as Pericarditis (inflammation around the heart) with 2 hospital stays this month.

Hi

My hubby had that back 2006!! He was a lot of pain, thought he was having a heart attack, he's luckily not had it since. Please take care Lynne

[Maya23 in reply to Hidden]

Yes when it first started I was told in A&E they thought I had a heart attack! Spent a night on ITU cardiac ward then next day told it was due to inflammation. I also have previously diagnosis of Lupus so not sure yet if that’s the cause.

Hi

Glad it's not your heart. What are the symptoms of lupus please xxxx

[Maya23 in reply to Hidden]

It is my heart, but not a heart attack. Lupus can cause pain & inflammation everywhere - joints, heart, lungs, liver..

It’s a horrible disease.

[Hidden in reply to Maya23]

Hope you are ok soon and thanks for the info. Take care Lynne

[Maya23 in reply to Hidden]
