I've been dealing with this chest pain near my breastbone for the past couple of years, and it's been especially bad since 2016. It hurts when I sit, lie down, or stretch, and I can't walk much without discomfort. Sometimes I have trouble breathing and feel fatigued all the time, plus I get headaches and feel nostalgic a lot. I've had an MRI, ECG, and various blood tests, including for Vitamin D, but everything comes back normal. The doctors think it might be costochondritis. Does this make sense given my symptoms, or could it be something else? What can I do to manage this pain better?

It sounds like youre dealing with persistent chest pain that has been diagnosed as costochondritis, a condition where the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone becomes inflamed. While your tests are normal, this can still cause significant discomfort. Treatment typically includes anti-inflammatory medications, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

View allI've been having some trouble lately. Whenever I do physical activity, I end up pulling muscles like my hamstring, and I feel like my joints, bones, and muscles are just weak. Its frustrating because I'm experiencing so much pain all overlike my low back, fingers, elbows, knees, you name it. A couple of months ago, I visited an orthopedic surgeon, and after some tests, it turned out I had high uric acid levels, so they gave me medicine for three weeks. But it didnt really help, and I'm still dealing with these issues. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?
In my opinion your uric acid levels have not become normal so you need to continue with the medication for a month and den you need to get it checked once again.. as you are saying that you are getting pain everywhere in the body you must also go for calcium vitamin d and vitamin b 12 levels checked I think that will be deranged as well... so if they are deranged then you need to take medications for that...and stop masturbating on a regular basis... becoz body becomes weak if anybody does it daily...get well soon take care...

I've been using Alzumab biologic for about six months now, and honestly, I'm not seeing much improvement in my condition. I've heard about Scapho by Novartis and wonder if it's more effective? Can you tell me if switching might be worth it, or if there are better options out there?

I'm having this pain in my mid-chest, but it only happens with certain movements. I've talked to a bunch of doctors about it, even had some tests like an ECHO done, but everything seems normal. They mentioned it might be muscular pain or something called costochondritis. How long does something like this usually take to feel better? I'm really scared to even pick up my kid right now. Everyone has just suggested using Volini gel. Do you have any home remedies in mind that might help with this?
