last three days i've been having bad chest, under arm around breasts-pain and tenderness.
any clues? it's like the bones or the muscles or something-
also i know i've posted this elsewhere but thought i'd mention here- detoxing tips are appreciated- nothing too drawn out or harsh on the body please- just any simple steps would be great
so far i'm drinking more water (boiling my distilled water for now and running through brita canister till i get a better filter)
i'm also doing chlorella. any other good tips?
oh and if anyone knows any LL nautral doctors in texas area please pm me! THANK you so much.

I have a story share with this one. I have had
excrucicating chest wall pain for 9 months, 24
hrs a day. Until recently I would wake up in
the AM feeling as is someone had brutally
attacke me with a knife. Need pain medication
to exist.
Originally dx as costochrondritis, therapies included:
oral steroids, steroid injections, (steroids not
good for lyme) diflocanac, ibuprofen, 4 months
of mysofascial release (physcial therapy),
hot baths, tens unit, stress reduction etc
I just started another 8 weeks of PT last week
and have had 3 sessions of Lymphatic Massage.
So far I have had an incredible response in
terms of a reduction in my pain. I am hopeful
that I can make headway with this. The level of
my pain has decreased significantly. It is
amazing.
I have 7 weeks of therapy left. We'll see if it continues.

Lymph drainage supplements helped a lot for me. Mine was from Bart but rib pain can be Babs too.

where do you get your lymph drainage supplement stacy? my friend mentioned a brand she uses once but i cant remember what it was

Pekana Lymph Drainage, just google it. Red Root is also good for lymph. A good lymphatic drainage therapist and dry brushing helps.
Tumeric can help if there is inflammation there.

I also agree with taking red root. dry brushing before a bath or shower. your strokes with the
brush should be up and out and towards your heart.
yesterday was my first day of getting a lymphatic massage.
during part of the session felt a little nauseated.
when i was finished felt very light. i have more appt.s. im going to try out on a weekly basis.

I go to a physical therapist who has been trained in it. It is covered under my insurance. (Not that specific therapy if that we my diagnosis, just as a general part of my overall therapy)
Posted by learning721 (Member # 23798) on :
wow guys thanks for the tips- i do have a brush to do the dry brushing.
I will be looking into that massaging- is this something that can be done by a non professional? -to save on money?
