Have had t-spine muscle spasms and pain in chest...angina type pain off and on for a couple years. Yet this is the worst yet and it started January 1 with having pnuemonia and all the coughing made my right ribs very painful and they started spasing. Now it has gone competely over into my left side too. I feel like my back ribs are in a big vise and someone is trying to squeeze the life out of me. The pain is going from a 4-6 daily and have had some days that have been a 4-7! Today has been horrible and I am getting so weary from the pain. I took flexaril today and then a percoset and neither one even phased it! I know it is from having myalgia pain syndrome, yet the docs don't know it! I go to pm doc and he says he does shots only...can't get the shots until I can give him a diagnosis. Have an appointment in May with a rheumotoligst and can not even figure out how I will be able to stand this pain for that long if it doesn't stop.
Thanks, just griping about it helps somehow!
