Suggest Remedy For Pain In Chest Wall And Low Platelet Count
My husband has had chest wall pain and low platelets. I think they are related somehow. We have been to several doctors and have an many tests run, but now answers for the chest wall pain. They have been treating the low platelets. My husband hasn't worked since last october. We went to Mayo to the Pain Rehab center which has helped, but not enough to get him back to work. If he over does it,his pain is 7 or 8. A very low key day his pain is 4 to a 5. Please help us if you have any suggestions. Thanks
Thank you for asking in HCM. First we need to know if there is a lung disease or not that cause chest pain. Does your husband had a chest HRCT and a procedure called bronchoscopy? If these two examinations are negative the next step is to do a consultation with the hematologist for the low plateled count.
There are some hematologic pathologies that cause low platelets and as a complain is chest wall pain.
So my opinion is that you should consult a hematologist and probably he/she should do a test called Myelogram.
Thank you.
