Hi Chris,
I am just now reading your answer to me about our pain and what it is. I had to go to the hospital nearby not too long ago as I thought I may be having a heart attack. This was a very different pain in my chest than what I was used to. This emergency Dr. told me that this pain was in fact Costrochondritis and suggested I try Amitriptyline for the pain. Well, I tell you Chris after just a few days, the pain went away and hasn't come back. I sleep much better also. I couldn't get over this as I had suffered for a number of years with this damn pain and now it was gone. What do you think about this?

What is Costochondritis if I might ask. I have similar pain but I have thoracic spin problems and attribute mine to nerve issues.

Good for you. How wonderful. I have read that Amitriptyline is one of the best......supposedly for pain and the side effects of depression. Good for you. I guess I am a bit surprised that it took so long. And I am thrilled that you are sleeping better and living more joyously.

May you be safe and protected.
Chris
