anyone?
went to the er today, they thought it was costrochondritis, but it's over by my right armpit, adn all the soft tissue around it..not near my ribs at all?
its not painful if I lean back or put my right arm back, but if I bring it forward, or lean forward the pain is awful in the area next to my armpit (not as low as my breast), and into my armpit...it almost feels like your fingers or toes do when they need to be 'cracked' like a knuckle...can't get rid of the feeling...
anyone, please help?

Lisa,
I think that it is very difficult to try and discover what the problem you are having is, from afar. However as a 'menopausal hell', veteran I would advise you that around the time my periods stopped I had lots of unexplained pain in my left shoulder/breast area and right knee. They disappeared in a puff of smoke at menopause. I think that we become terribly prone to damaging joints when we are at that stage. I had a frozen shoulder at that stage too. It was like something was ,trapped and I needed to release it. My joints are fine again now. The pain was relentless for several months.
It might be a case of taking NSAIDs (Like Neurophen) and repeating to yourself, 'this will pass.' Sometimes I do not know how we all remain sane with all these horrible symptoms!
Take care........

Hi Lisa,
Haven,t had pain just where your,s is,but have it under left breast radiates into armpit and sometimes sends random pain shooting thru breast,wearing a bra aggrevates it so much have to limit time wearing it.
went to specialist(after many Dr,s visits) he said its the chest wall/muscle not breast. He still didnt answer my question tho as to what it is.
Mine started sept 08 been sporadic but gradually been there 24/7 nowadays,it came when started getting symptoms left right and centre and think that kick started my health anxiety
As with yours Lisa the pain isnt bad just niggling "you know it,s there type of pain"
Probably not much help to you but sounded similar and i know how much mine gets me down.
The specialist gave me a prescription for Evening Primrose oil 1000mg x3 daily for 3 months then drop to just 1 a day.
Must say (if i dare) feel bit better in self. aches and pains still same!!! but in my head feel a little more sane.
Probably spoke tooooo soon
Hope you get some answers Lisa

I have pain in the same place....my right shoulder too. I would have to say at this point the joint and muscle pain is my worst symptom. I guess it's better than the panic attacks I was having! I'm finding it really hard to exercise. I just joined a new health club and was doing great and all of a sudden my body just said "no more" and I hurt all over....lovely....just lovely!
I have something similar to this, although I don't think mine is as bad. On both sides, where the balls of my shoulders end and the chest tissue begins (near the front side of the armpits), I have very sensitive spots about thumb-sized.
Sometimes they both hurt as the same time, sometimes just one. Sometimes it will be an achy pain, sometimes a shooting throbbing pain. It's a specific spot on both sides and the spots feel swollen to me, like it might be glandular. It's been bad enough to wake me up but mostly it's just annoying. But it doesn't go into my armpit. Just stays in the general area of the spots.
I've had the doctor check both spots out and she says it doesn't seem to be anything. I guess it's just a peri thing. Although how and why it could be is a mystery.
