Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Dear Kerri, Wow, I had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago!! Felt like I was having a heart attack, but they said it was a muscle spasm, but could be costochondritis (sp?) My doc said if it happened again, not to wait, go while I'm still in pain (I waited until it subsided before.) Scary, isn't it? Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Kathy, Can you tell me what costchondritis is and the symptoms? My ribs have been bothering me. I thought right away maybe it was something to do with the surgeries I have had. Now I am thinking that is not what is wrong. I think I may have had this before.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Kerry, It sounds like Costochondritis (Tietze's Syndrome). I've got articles on my webpage about it: http://rheumatoid.arthritis.freehosting.net/ Rheumatoid Arthritis.html#costo Flares can be very painful. I hope you feel better. a On Jul 26, 2005, at 11:49 AM, kerri wrote: > lot of pain today in mid back and through to my chest, got so bad I > went into the hospital to have my GP take a look at me. he said that > the connective tissue between my ribs and sternum is inflamed and that > it was most likely the RA... anyone else ever had this? > > kerri > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
