chest and rib pain

[Guest guest]

>>I have read somewhere that fibro can affect the muscles in the chest wall,

>>and it feels like a heart attack.

Oh you know, I get this too but it's in the back of my chest area, in my rib

cage. I usually have it first thing in the morning and if I try to take a

deep breath forget about it... until I make myself get up and stretch or

move around, I cannot take a deep breath for the pain. It sucks. Just

another happy thing about this stupid disease.

Er, I'm not in a great mood today... can you tell? :/

I get a crushing pain from my chest upwards to my neck, sometimes I get it at the back too. It only happens when everything else is hurting badly.. I know it's a bad day when my chest hurts! Luckily it rarely lasts much more than an hour at a time.

I got costochondritis after my hysterectomy. It usually isn't permanent. Most of the time for me it just felt like I had a baby's foot in-between my ribs, but I did read that it can become quite painful.
