Hey Randy, You talked about chest pains. You may need to see a chiropractic for a pinched nerve. When I was 5, I failed from the top of a slide to the ground head first. It wasn't until I was 15 that I was having 3 mild & 1 that put me to my knees chest pain a day. All the doctors would say is that I couldn't be a weight body builder. I could had told my parents that for the $500. At this point I was ready to commit suicide. My step-father came home one day and said, We could try a chiropractor. When I did see a chiropractor, he had me stand and bend left and then bend right. Standing behind me and pointing to the front of my body. He then said, You are hurting here & here in all 4 spots. He was right on all 4 spots. It did take some time to get fully better, but I did feel better after the first visit. Hope this helped, Hope you find out what IT is, Todd in CC, TX

For years I have had an electric shocking sensation in the front left ribs near sternum and towards the bottom. Just before the TM diagnoses in 05 I had been having horrific chest pains that would sometimes put me to the floor. A full cardio exam consisting of everything from EKG to nuclear dye revealed a perfect "heart of a four year old" and "the best heart rythym and blood pressure" among my contemporaries and even better than the average teen. No cause was discovered for the pain but a suggestion of "pulled muscles". The pain had been a consistent and growing manifestation since age 19. After the TM diagnose (the actually language in the lit on my case was "multiple myelopothy ... with a presentatipn of transverse myelopothy". In O6 the diagnoses was confirmed "transverse myelopthy" resulting in "bladder disfunction ... reduction in motor function ... and sensory anomolies with parasenthis (spelling). However even my neuro was baffled by the electric pain in my chest but felt it was neuropathic in nature. Befor 05 the pattern was specific but since 05 the chest pain is irregular in location and occassionally but rarely also strikes in my back. I sometimes think that I'm having a heart attack and mentally think, "this is the big one! Elizabeth, I'm coming home!". I had a series of chest pains followed by the first facial pains ever just before my last major episodes last fall and started again with them a few weeks ago followed soon by a return of the lighting strikes in my soles of my feet and down my right leg and the return of face pain. Tegretal and neurotin cleared the face pain up in just days but not the low back, leg or chest pains. Curiosly, I recently started having the same shock like sensations in my back neck. This is a first experience but not that painful just enough to catch me off guard. After those little funny jolts my shoulders feel sore and brused like as if I've had a intense work out about 3 days ago. I also notice that my right arm from shoulder to hand feels heavier and my legs feel weighed down as if bags of sand are tied to them. Eventhough the chest pain has been among my first and biggest complaints it is totally shurged off by all the specialists. As for the other experiences my main neuro calls them "textbook presentation of classic m.s." and then becomes frustrated by the lack of supportive data from all of the test results. So its a big mystery to me. ------Original Message------ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TMIC] Nerve Pain Sent: Jul 14, 2009 3:34 PM Sorry about just getting back to you guys but my pain was from the bottom of my ribs down and they were a cortisone shot.
