I Have Burping, Sore Muscles, Spine Crackling, Lung Rattles On Left Side, Stabbing Please Suggest Me

Burping, sore muscles, spine crackling, lung rattles on left side, stabbing pains HELP! 43, Female, 150 lbs. Started 10 years ago, stabbing pains in chest left side under breast middle area. Went to Doc. EKG, nothing, called it stress, got better but never went away, always feel like a rod was shoved through my chest and came out my back but bearable. Did the upper GI the next year. Few years later started having constant headaches and face muscle spazams, sensitive to sound, got all sorts of heart test ran, nothing, gave me stress tabs and after 3 months headache left so I stopped taking them. Still had the rod feel through chest. Lost weight, gained it back, joints seem to be cracking a lot. Hubby s company shut down. Now, Im the only one working in the family, no insurance. Lots of neck and shoulder pain, got a catch in it from accidentally popping it, terrible pain last year after going to chiorpracter. He told me the pain in my back between my shoulder blades was because of my job. Last year joints starter popping a lot before and after the weight loss, now, everytime i move my back and joints crackle and pop. Been burping a lot in the mornings after I get up. Cant sleep well, my shoulders and back are so sore, especially under the shoulder blades. I am a hair stylist and I work at the nursing home on my days off. Stabbing pains off and on now, lungs rattle on left side, cough occasionaily, feel bubbles running under chest in same yucky area under boobie. I did smoke but quit after chest felt kinda raw, never sick or feverish, just terribly sore shoulder muscles and in pain! Do party sometimes, pain is a little worse after drinking. Occasional diarreah after drink. Sick of hurting for 10 long years and its getting worse. Yes, Im a little stressy!

Me again, the 43 year old hairdresser, still havent been to doc as of yet, now the pain is running up under my arm one the same sid, I did start takeing prilosec and the stabbing pains have stopped, now its just lik my muscles are tying in knots in my shoulder and my joints in my back crunch all the time and the wheeze or rattle continues on the left but I can clear it sometimes. I have had all the heart test before so thats all good.

I have the same rattle, it's like a popping and crackling when I breath in and out, I too have also had lots of back problems, spasms in my shoulder, pain down my arm, been given every tablet I can think of for the back pain which is sometimes there for months at a time and sometimes not there at all for weeks, months at a time. I'm more concerned with my lung rattle which started about 2 years ago, I felt it in bed one night when I was lying down, used to come and go and be not there more than it was, now it is almost constant, had 2 chest x rays and apparently there's nothing wrong.....xx p.s I'm also a hairdresser but think that's just a coincidence as it happened before I started hairdressing!!!

Hi there,

It seems like your main issue is PAIN. And for that reason, the thing you need to look at since you have a normal x-ray and ecg is Fibromyalgia.

1. Pain on both sides of the body at the same location.
2. Pain increased by pressing on a particular spot on both sides of the body.
3. Pain all the way from back down your chest abdomen and to arms and legs.
4. No apparent cause of pain or swelling.

There are lot of prescribed medicines like lyrica for this. You just need consult with a doctor and get the prescriptions.

Regards,
Joey
