Pain --

[Cyndie802001]

I dont know if there is anyone out there that can give me any thoughts or advice I feel pretty alone at this point. First let me start of by saying I did loose a baby 8 weeks ago today. It was a 10 week miscarriage. On and off for the past two months I have been having pain in my left breast, arm, armpit and shoulder. It is a dull ache not a sharp pain and the pain does seem to move. I have been to all sorts of doctors, ever since the baby died I have had anxiety panic that there is something wrong with my body and thats why the baby died so I must be dying. I have had a mammorgram, 3 breast ultrasounds, chest xray, 2 ekg's, nuclear bone scan and full blood work up which all come back normal. The pain in my body is creating me to have anxiety and panic because I keep thinking something is wrong with my body. I stated acupunture, massage, and cousiling because the western medicine doctors have all told me this is in my head...

Any thoughts anyone?

and i thought I was the only one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I donot get the pain but I do get dizzy, heart palps, shortness of breath, headaches. I lost my baby almost a month ago, it will be a month actually on friday 20th.

ever since I lost mine I have been very stressedout, panic attacks almost everyday to the point I break down and cry. After the MC this was the list of things I initially thought was wrong with me:

Infection
Animia (even tho I bleed for only 5 days)
hormonal imbalance (Possable)
Heart problems
thought I was dying from an antibiotic I took a week ago to clear an std
then over the weekend it went away then returned because I was wondering where my period is and I heard you could get pregnant after a MC  so I freaked out! today had a full blown panic attack and it is still kinda here.

not sure if you have felt this same thing but it is odd how panic attacks are triggered by this!!! and glad (in a way) someone else is going through the same thing as I damn near.


I am sorry to hear your loss and best wishes to you!

Hi Cyndie,  I have had this same pain for many years and I very recently read here on the forum a condition called Costochondritis which is an inflammation of the cartillage in the chest wall.  Google it and see if it fits you.  It was such a huge relief for me when I read this was actually a condition.

I am so sorry about your miscarriage :(
