Hi  ladies,
I am 50 and havebeen having very similiar issues for months. I also have swelling above my collar bone. I have had every test you can imagine. All I have been diagnosed with is osteoarthritis and bursitis. This fit whith what I;m ready on some sites. I also have a thyroid condition, High blood pressure and high cholesterol. When I first starting seeking treatment and answers, it would come & go. Mostly with physical work. Lifting ect. But now the pain is almost constant and has at time been from my toes to my head, yesterday I started having sharp pains in my left nipple. It is mostly on my left side. Sometimes I can't sleep because of the pain and it makes it very difficult to work or use my left arm at all. One time I woke up to find my eyes very saggy, baggy and dark and somewhat swollen. They looked very strange, like I had never seen them before. It took a week for them to get back to normal and it was so bad that everyone was asking me if I was alright. Very noticable. I'm hoping someone online will have answers. Sounds like I am a hypochondriac.

only a doctor who can examine you can tell you whats going on. anything else is just a guess. do what the doctor said and take your pills and come back in a month. if your still in pain, see the doctor soon or see another doctor
