New discovery today. I've had frequent chest pain for many years now along with GERD and its associated issues, but yesterday I had a really bad "attack" of what I have been told is a hernia pushing up and causing pain so I saw my regular doc. I sit down with him for a while and he puts me on the table and presses around a bit and tells me that I have costochondritis (inflammation of the chest wall/connective tissue between the ribs and sternum). I nearly fell over. I've told him and my other doc of swelling in that area of my chest and pointed it out to them several times before only to be blown off. Now he notices it and presses a few times to recreate the symptoms and we have a name for part of my problem. After 10 years of tests and medications and doctor visits... I don't know if I'm relieved or angry as can be. I know it's not likely to be TOS related but I had to vent about it. Thanks for letting me.
