Hey all, I've been experiencing some chest wall pain for months now and it's getting gradually worse. Even months before my flare, I was constantly icing/heating my chest (left side of breast bone) and now that I'm flaring the pain is almost constant. I should mention that I used to golf a lot and do quite a bit of manual labor...(golf gets a bad rap, but it's pretty rough on the body)
I have no official DX, but I am seeing a rheumy soon to get some tests done. I have health anxiety as it is....so I am constantly thinking that it's my heart I'm 99% sure that it isn't, because i've never had issues with working out. If anything, the pain is at it's lowest after a long ride on my bike or stint on the elliptical.
It's not just the costo, it's pain everywhere :ybatty: my knees have always been shot but I'm used to it. My shoulder is constantly subluxating...I wake up with a numb arm at least 3 times a week.
Just wondering if anybody has experienced Costo or any of these other problems. Could it be fibro? Myofascial pain syndrome? I hate trying to diagnose myself, but all my doctors just shrug it off and don't even want to do any tests/take me seriously. They think I'm a healthy 22 year old with a bad colon, but I'm in legit pain daily.
It's now keeping me from doing things that I love to do....I feel like a 75 year old trapped in a 22 year olds body. 4 months ago I was doing 30 mile rides daily like it was nothing. Now I can barely ride 10 miles 2-3 times a week. Guess it's better than nothing.
Sorry for the rant, just looking for others that have experienced these types of extra intestinal manifestations with their IBD. I'm too young to feel crippled like this. Any input would be appreciated, and once again...sorry if I sound like a whiny little girl...I just miss feeling healthy. :ymad:
