Did I mention the stabbing ear pain after my cycle every month. Also I have peeling finger nails.
And I’m constantly yawning
Jody,
I have had pain in my chest, like it's sore deep inside my lungs for no reason. I keep getting a very low grade fever everytime I do much physical work, and sometimes just at bedtime. I am not sick in any way.
My hips on the outside of my butt ache all the time, I can hardly stay asleep, the pain wakes me up at night constantly.
I am SO tired for NO reason. Lathergic. Yes, I resorted to google and now I have lung cancer, and pneumonia! LOL!!
Hi Michelle o get that does it feel like gnaw and pain under ribs I know muscular as I have knits but comes in waves and so tight feel like deep into chest and tight I fo go for physio massage and she says I am so knotted but also makes me feel so unwell x
Yes yes yes! My pain is in the same places as well. Something my dr told me. If you can push on your chest and recreate the pain it’s not internal. I do this all the time. It’s comforting when you find the pain and you are like okay it’s not my heart. Lol
Yes it’s awful I get so worried I will try that later I do feel not my heart more my lungs or gallbladder as pain so deep seated but also as muscles tight knotted think link try not to google when I get flare up . I do allot yoga 🧘♀️ which can affect this intercostal musclebut also hormones and menopause you get lots ache pain , do you also get pain in top arm of the side pain on ? X
Hi Jodie!
What do you mean by recreating the pain?
If you can push on the spot and it hurts then the pain is muscular and not internal.
Yes try that I have pain in upper scapula like knots neck and then in both side ribs hurt but it the gnawing pain like I want to dig something out most odd and then I worry but feel better tonight , then comes back like stabbing and gnawing I feel such a hyponcondriac when I tell my family friends they look at me like I am mad
Hi Joanne, I have had many many knots in my back since june last year , i have been to my GP may times to be given pills and told it is health anxiety. I have been offered antidepressants many times and refused, i am not depressed i am in pain. I have had many massages and told my back is so tense, i have a tight neck and shoulders and keep getting an ache under my ribs mainly the right but some times the left. I have has spasms/twitching in my back muscles too. It is so worrying. x
It’s definitely hormonal. Ever since my periods have gone from 7 days and heavy to 2 days of spotting I have all sorts of pain in my back and chest and ribs and my neck is so stiff. It feels like it needs cracked all the time.
Oh ok, thanks for the clarity.
The doctors always say everything is anxiety. Yes your hormones cause anxiety to be worse but who would blame a person for seeing the Dr for actual chest pain or dizziness. I know for awhile I was in and out every week demanding answers and paying $40 every time which I don’t have. I looked it up and nobody has ever written a book about their experience in this whole mess. I’m sure a lot of women would read it and save them from thinking the worst.
Thanks Amanda good to be on here and see othere have the same it is real and like you I am not depressed I just get concerned onto why I get this as I talk to others and they don’t have in menopause , I also have health anxiety understandable I lost both my parents to cancer stroke 10 weeks apart was an awful time I look after my mum who had larynx cancer which spread through her body , all she had was a hoarse voice and neck pain for months and dr said virus so there you go that why we get like we do so gp should be sympathetic to r needs and theyalway say go early to get thing checked and these real symptoms x
This is such an old post, but I experience the same and especially the tightness around the ribs, mine feels like a belt being tighteened around my diaphgram/under the breasts and fullness/tautness and tingling all over my torso and back. It really sucks.
I hope it has stopped now x
