WOW, I had no clue this could happen. I try not to read to much in hopes that my brain won't realize how bad fms can be. Is there anything that you can do to help the pain? Christie wrote: Gosh yes.

It's called costochondritis. Do a google search for it, or even better search for "fibromyalgia and costochondritis". Won't kill you but make you think you're gonna die. One of the many beautiful side effects of fibro. :-)

I'm dealing with a separate issue. Been checked by 4 doctors, got 4 different opinions, none of which seem to be right.

I have major swelling under the skin at the front of my collarbone and extending up the right side around my neck. Not lumps or knots, just looks like fluid squishing around under my skin. Very painful. Also have extreme pain in my right shoulder. Dr says it is "frozen shoulder" but he really can't explain the swelling. In my worrisome state of mind I equate swelling with cancer. Any thoughts?

I took a week's supply of prednisone which helped the shoulder pain at night but not during the day and the pain came back as soon as I finished the prednisone pack.

Chest Wall Pain?

Does anyone have this? I am in so much pain and it hurts to breath.

I know I am since I have not passed out, but holly cow this is bad.

Thank You for the info. I have to say this really bites. I have been miserable for a couple of months now. I hurts to breath and if it's not bad enough that I can't work, I can't even keep my house clean. And I am totally ocd about my house, so now what the heck am I supposed to do. I feel like my world is crumbling right in front of me. Once I come to accept one limitation then another one comes along. Does this ever end? Sorry to vent and put all my trouble out there, this is just not a good day. I still need to make the beds, do laundry, clean the kitty litter box and vacuum, dust. You know survive. Think I may go to some good joke sites and cheer myself up. Joan Hart wrote: It's called costochondritis. Do a google search for it, or even better search for "fibromyalgia and costochondritis".

Most prescription pain meds will help. I don't take pain meds for my fibro because I have no insurance and can't afford them, but back when I had my last bout of the costo stuff my dr prescribed voltaren because it was the strongest thing at the time.

I have similar problem, they are calling it TMJ. You

know, if everyone here could add into the groups

database the name of the drug, things it was

prescribed for, side affects they personally had from

it, and their email address-that would be an

incredible helpful tool. With the membership this and

other yahaoo FM groups have, you could probable cover

most of the drugs out there plus all the things that

went with FM. This is the first I have heard about

costochrondritis. As I have asthma and a heart

condition, this one is particular scary for me as so

many things mimic others and they can misdiagnose you

very easily. What I have, you can die from, however,

how serious would the doctor have been if I came in

with the sysmptoms and said I also have FM? Kathleen
