   Costochondritis (Fibromyalgia board)

28th June 2005
I'm sorry Chrislynn, I hope you didn't think we forgot about you dear, we didn't. I never heard of arm pain going along with it, but nothing would surprise me about it. My pain started in one "spot", and then traveled all around till my whole chest was hurting so bad. You know, I also had GERD, at least that's what my Dr. at the time told me, so that could've been part of it. They never did any testing though to see if I truly did have Gerd, but I did take Prilosec, which seemed to work at first, then later nothing helped. I don't know what came first though. Do you ever feel like you might have some acid reflux, coming up in your throat? You might want to try an OTC acid reflux med, (PPI) such as Prilosec, and see if that helps any. Anything is worth a try. If the Tylenol doesn't help, try another pain reliever, Advil, Extra strength Bayer. Or ask your Dr. for a pain med, since the Tylenol 3 helped you, (if you run out) I don't see any reason they should not give us prescription pain meds, when we're having that type of pain, it would be inhumane. Have you tried a heating pad too? I even placed big ice packs on it a few times. Hot baths with Epsom salts too.
