View allI'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.

I've been on medication for the past couple of weeks, but I still have this nagging pain in my chest and the areas around it. They detected BONE TB for me on April 24th. I've been experiencing severe pain in my chest and back, and it's been really hard to move. The doctors suspected Bone TB after running some tests and doing a CT scan. They confirmed it with an FCNA test. I actually had a similar issue back in 1992, and I had surgery for it, but it was resolved and everything was fine after that. I'm just worried about why the pain is still here despite the treatment, and if there's something else I should be doing or considering? Would appreciate any advice.
Despite 15 days of medication, persistent chest and surrounding area pain, along with a confirmed diagnosis of bone TB through CT scan and FCNA test, warrants a review of your treatment plan

I've been dealing with lower back pain and taking homeopathy medicine, but now I've got a new issue. About 45 minutes after I fall asleep, I get this intense pain that spreads through my entire back on both sides of my spinal cord, and it becomes impossible to find a comfortable angle to sleep. Then, in the morning, the pain in my spinal cord is really bad, but it eases up after 10 or 15 minutes, and I'm back to my usual lower back pain. What can I do to get some relief and finally get a good night's sleep?
