I am the same as @A MyFibroTeam Member. It has gone on for a very long time constant and painful. Wearing a bra really sucks and it is no help with having very large breasts. I so want a reduction to see if it will help subside some of that pain. I am sorry you are suffering from it. It is very common I think for fibro patients to experience this during a flare or chronically.

Anna... many of us have this. You might look up Costochronditis.. I’m not sure of the exact spelling but it’s close😊.

That sounds like what finally made me schedule an appointment with my PCP. For an entire week I felt that way - lower back all the way around to the front & creeping up into my shoulder area- it scared the crud outta me. I couldn't get comfortable in ANY position, and I couldn't breathe deeply. Of course, when the day of my appt arrives, lo & behold, I don't hurt like that anymore. I felt CRAZY telling my doctor about a year's worth of pain and symptoms, but she didn't think I was crazy AT ALL. I hope you get relief from that SOON. It was a miserable and frightening feeling.

I bought a cream called celafen which was advertised in a health magazine.It did not help with pain but helped to cool down the burning which i get a lot.I tried Lyrica and all the main fibro drugs but couldn’t put up with the side effects.Iknow how you feel i get discouraged too.Not a day in two years have i been without pain.Im told we can go into remission with it. But i’m still waiting. Good luck

I have felt that way when I have costochondritis. I highly recommend seeing the doctor. I hope you feel better soon!
