Over the past three years I have had pain in my chest region, from the diaphragm around to the middle of my back. Sometimes so painful I’ve had to lie on my back on the floor with a heated wheat pack between my shoulders, after taking Panadol osteo. That’s the only thing that worked...
I’ve been to the emergency department twice with suspected heart problems... had all the tests; ultrasounds; xrays; stress tests etc. from the heart specialist. Had U/S of my internal organs just last week after my liver function tests were slightly elevated... all clear!
So why am I getting so much pain?
Been regularly going to a chiropractor as well...
The pain keeps coming back!
After my exercise sessions...I’m doing HIIT
High intensity interval training over short distances as I can’t do long distances because of my crook knee...I can manage short intense bursts of running through the sand dunes and when my lungs are fully expanded I have the same rib pain...
First I thought it was a stitch but now I know it’s not!
Sometimes it happens in the middle of the night and I wake up in agonising pain...
My darling daughter Shelley treated me to a girl’s day out at Endota Spa in Mawson Lakes last weekend!
Talk about serendipity!
Cassie; my masseuse for the treatment: has been through hell; a car accident; several spinal operations; lost one rib; nerve pain; on strong medications. The first person in a long time to listen and understand the pain I am going through...
Sure; the doctors have to try and find the most dangerous possibilities first...
Heart... internal organ failure etc...
But I have known it wasn’t my heart, it has always felt like my rib is pulled out of place and is pinching my nerve...
Xrays don’t show it! Ultrasounds don’t show it!
First thing Cassie said: you’ve got a pinched nerve!
At last! An answer the same as my original thoughts!
