On cocodimol and diclefenic gel and docs just put me on pregabalin.

You have had all tests hun and you have had a diagnosis so don't be scared of the pains because you know what's causing them and its nothing life threatning, I don't know much about what you was diagnosed with so don't know what kind of chest pain your experiencing but when I had chest pains they scared the life out of me so I know its hard but you have to accept its nothing serious (I wish I could of taken my own advice back when I was like this lol)

Hi,

Sorry you are still suffering Bev. As I've said to you before costochondritis is VERY painful and I can undertand you feeling very anxious but keep telling yourself, 'it's nothing serious, it's nothing serious'. I know it's easier said than done but there's nothing more your GP can do if he's done all the tests, bloods etc. Take reassurance from the fact that all tests have been clear and if there was anything wrong something would have been picked up with the amount of tests you've had done.

Hope you feel better soon

You were on pregabalin before and I remember you getting chest pains then, so it could be a side effect making things worse.

Give it a chance though - it's a good med for pain and anxiety but you might need to increase dose so make sure you discuss this with your doc.
