I'm having this persistent pain along the right side of my sternum and it's starting to worry me. I've had several tests donea breast ultrasound, MRI, X-ray, and even an echoand they all came back normal. I'm wondering, could costochondritis be the cause, and if so, is there any imaging that can detect it? I really need to figure out what's going on.

View allI'm really concerned because my ESR is at 80mm after the first hour, as per the report, and for the last two months, I've been dealing with frequent fevers. I had viral fever, then got typhoid twice, and recently another fever hit me. My doctor suggested some tests, and most came back fine, except for an abdominal scan that showed my liver has increased in size and my ESR is high. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've got this breathing issue, allergic bronchitis, and I'm also dealing with fibromyalgia. The doctor told me to take Ultracet semi twice a day. But when I looked it up, it said it might not be safe for people with breathing problems. Should I be worried about taking this medication?
