hiya,
can anyone help or give me a bit of advice... since about march i have experienced discomfort im my rib cage,underarm and breast area. its mostly on the right although sometimes on the left. it got to the stage where i had convinced myself i had breast cancer. sometimes it feels like a tingling feeling round the breast and underarm area sometimes it feels like my ribs hurt,so much so i have cannot bare a bra on.
i did go to the doc's and he did me a full bone and c reactive protien blood tests. these check for any inflammations which include cancer but both came back normal.
then i got told it could be costrochondritis, but my gp didn;t say anything about that.
can Parethesia affect just one side more then the other? i know my anxiety has made it worse as the more i think about it the worse it is and the worse it is the more i convince myself its cancer. i do regular breast and underarm checks and haven't found any lumps... but even that dosn't convince me all is ok.
i also suffer acid reflux and someone also said trapped wind can cause pain in the underarm rib region. it mostly feels on the outerside near the armpit. its really getting me down now so much so i can feel the panic coming back full pelt, and i seemed to be doing so well.
the only time i don't think about it is if i keep myself active.
sorry to go on but someone else's input would be so helpful.
thanks
penny
