Started a couple of days ago with first a tender area on the left side of left breast and also the area next to it on the side. Thought maybe my bra caused it.
But then I started with pain in the middle of my back, just below shoulder blade and slightly to the left. It's a sort of achy throbbing pain and sometimes a sort of "burning" feeling that has remained pretty constant and has awakened me two nights in a row. It's not horrible pain but it is uncomfortable.
Had some mid chest pain too but that comes and goes and if I touch the chest it's almost tender. Doubt it's my heart and if it was on the right side I might think gallbladder.
Could this be what is called the "MS Hug"? I'm thinking it could also just be a pinched nerve.
Sometimes it does drift over to just the right side of the spine.
If it is nerve or MS related it might just be what pushes me to start on the Neurotin my neuro prescribed this week (for arm and other intermittent nerve pain). If been slow to want to take it but if this pain continues...well, I probably will.
Any input here folks?
