Hello, I just wanted to see if there was any update on your pain @happyat76 ? If your pain is where the ribs meet the sternum, you may have costochondritis. Costochondritis is a difficult condition to deal with and my wife has faced it for some time. Though, typically costochondritis pain does not last for years. Hope you are well.

Hi boomer76
So very sorry I am only now getting back to you. Yes that is exactly where I get the pain. It really hurts me to breathe at times. I hate having to live like this all the time. I really don’t know what to do now. My Dr. has never examined me, nor suggested a chest x-ray, scan, nothing. What kind of Dr. should I ask her to send me to? Any suggestions?
Thanks
