A different pain

glochessum profile image

For the last two days I've had what I can only describe as a deep pain/ache in my chest and back that also goes down to my elbows. Is this normal as it's not a symptom I've had before and my abdomen looks swollen.

I don,t have any experience with this pain but I would say that with any new and unusual symptom go to your GP and get it checked out, it may well be another fibro symptom there are so many but better to know than to worry and better to be safe than sorry

Good luck

I don't think Friday is soon enough, Glo!

Your symptoms could be anything from indigestion to a heart attack, and I think it warrants a rapid trip to A&E!

They won't be cross with you, cos better safe than sorry as VG says!

I really don't think it either of them Moffy. I'm sure I will be fine until Friday. If it does get worse I will make sure I get seen sooner.

Hello glochessum :)

I can share that I have had what you are describing off and on for a long time. Scared me for a bit. I would be really interested to know what your doctor says about it.. please let me know if that's okay.

I was a bit scared to start with especially as I felt I was having palpitations as well but they seem to have passed now.

you should get it checked out if any pain is new to you but can I say that the pain you describe is similar to the one I get it feels so deep I say it is coming out through my back !!!

You can't get any ease from it and you feel physically sick !!!! I also hurt if I breath in deep

Chest muscle inflammation is the drs reason another fibro flare up !!!!

Good luck at drs take care xx
