I have pain inside in the front and in my chest that is fibro. Now, a funny/sad thing about fibro is that if you have a place on your body prone to pain, it will hurt more from fibro. So you may have costo aggravated by fibro.

I would like to suggest you consider taking some antidepressants/antianxiety drugs. Fibro will do that, whether it's because you are depressed to be losing better health, or whether it is just one of the symptoms of fibro. Doesn't matter! You will be able to better deal with your physical issues if you don't have to fight feelings of anxiety and depression as hard. Cymbalta is used widely with fibro.

Let me tell you something. It is good your doctor is doing lots of tests. Because there are things similar to fibro and they need to be ruled out. As long as he is testing, that means he is trying. Before I got the diagnosis I had doctors run basic tests and then shrug and stop.

I see you live in Paulding. You may want to consider going to a good rheumatologist. Mine is at the Univ of Toledo Medical Center. Dr Altorok sees me. A good rheumatologist will know all the good drugs to help. And drugs do help, although everyone is different.
