Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / November 2007Bone pain?
Question for you all. I've been having chest pain but I think it's bone type pain and not heart attack or acid reflux pain. It hurts to push on my chest, top of my breasts, ribs, etc. Actually, everything from below the breasts to my neck hurts to touch. Also have several tender spots in my back. Could this be arthritis related? Have my regular 3-month appt. with the RD next week and will surely chat with him about it. Just thought I'd get some input from you guys before the appt.

The RD explained that one also has a joint in the chest that can get inflamed and that causes pain just as any other joint would with arthiritis. But rather make sure, tension can also cause the pain in the places you mentioned. Kind regards. Willa > Question for you all.

Google costochondritis which is a sort of inflammation of the rib cage area. >From what I understand it can be very painful and sometimes people think they are having a heart attack. Char Char, it is so very good to see you posting. Come back as often as possible, please. You always have good information and advice. Gwen >> Question for you all.

The cartilage that connects the ribs to the sternum can get very inflamed. I think I've noticed on the group that there is a much higher incidence of "costo" related pain in the fall and winter. For me its largely weather related and cough and breathing problem related. It can be severe. I've sort of joked with my doctors that between costo pain and gerd pain, I'll never know if I have a heart attack. I simply cannot go to the ER every time I have severe chest pain.

I did Google chostochondritis and it sounds very much like what I'm having. Oh goodie. Just something else to deal with. Will find out for sure next week, I guess. Thanks again, Jean It could be costochrondritis - a chronic inflammation of the cartiledge in the rib cage. I have it pretty bad in my upper left quadrant. It feels sometimes as though it is coming from the heart. After two overnight stays in the hospital to 'rule out' cardiac involvement, I've learned to recognize the pain and location, but it took a long time. My personal advice would be to discuss this with your doctor as only a doctor can make a diagnosis. (Oh, and by the way....half the time even a doctor has to guess or surmise a diagnosis. The human body is a strange thing.) DeeTee > Question for you all. I've been having chest pain but I think it's bone > type pain and not heart attack or acid reflux pain.

They are fusing and limiting chest expansion when I inhale. It's a result of anklylosing spondylitis. ... Laughter is the shortest disance between two people. > Question for you all.

When my legs hurt..it feels like it is my bones...when my arms hurt ...well you get the idea... Some times it is hard for me to figure out which one is hurting OA or FM..Guess it doesn't matter..They both hurt... I hope you get some good answers from your doctor next week... Cindy Thanks Cindy, I hope so too. Jean >> Question for you all. I've been having chest pain but I think it's bone >> type pain and not heart attack or acid reflux pain.
