Anyone have creapy crawly chest pain that comes and goes constantly? I have just been diagnosed, and haven't even started treatment for the Lyme. My doctor is trying to clear out some of the other infections and parasites first. Ewww. I'm having a lot of chest pain. Feels like a pinch inside my chest. Mostly on the left, sometimes on the right. I have been to the ER many times with similar symptoms and... suprise ~ nothing!!! Lots of other stuff going on, but this is what's keeping me up at night!!!

You may want to google "costochondritis." Several of us have this. A hallmark of costo is that the ribs hurt to touch in that pain spot--they are very sensitive.

That may not be it, but it is worth looking into. If that is it, it is an inflammation issue. I cannot take NSAIDs, so I use a heating pad when I have bad flares.

Good luck!

Thank you so MUCH! I'm going to see my doc tomorrow, but I will look into this. Just a scary thing (a lot of scary things as I'm sure you well know)
