Chest pain!

I've been suffering with chest pain since wednesday and i've tried taking rennies to see if it's heartburn but i don't think it is as i've still got it. I'm also suffering with shoulder pain and neck pain that started today and i was wonder if anyone has any ideas to what it might be i've got the doctors tomorrow but i just thought i would ask on here to see if anyone has any clues to what it might be.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have similar symptoms about six months ago, my advise to you is to ask ur GP for a referral to a rhumatologist ASAP.

All the best with your doctor. Tell the doctor all. Get referred to a rheumatologist also.

Hey just to let everyone know i went the doctors and he pressed on my chest witch hurt and he did the same with my shoulders and that hurt aswell and then he said my bones were cracking like there brittle. He thinks i may have inflammation so i've got 400mg of ibuprofen for it witch i've gotta take for about 5 days. He also said i could have raynauds cause he noticed my hands were abit purple and red and i said i already have that so he has gave me nifedipine for that for when i get pain.

Pleased you got sorted out. best wishes.
