does anyone have burning stabbing pain in the pectoral muscle around the nipple

[roxy58]

My husband has been suffering for the last 6 years with a burning stabbing needle ***** pain in the right pectoral muscle and around the nipple area. He has seen every doctor available, but noone has given him any diagnosis.He has had mri's on his neck, shoulder, thorasic spine and chest. After six years of pressing, pulling and holding his pe muscle, he now has atrophy in is pec muscle and black and blue circles around in pec muscle. He cannot sleep, longer than 2 hours at any given time, the pain shoots and stabs him at any given time during sleep. This has been going on for over 6 years and has progressly gotten worse.  please help me is you can. I am very afraid that all the pressing, pulling and prodding is going to cause something worse to happen to him. Please, if anyone out there has any ideas of what this could be, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Roxie.

Pulling and pressing, even if done daily should not be causing atrophy.  

Your husband needs to see a neurologist who specializes in neuromuscular problems, which is what was recommended at a neurology forum for somebody with a similar case.

Unless your husband has Hepatitis C, you're in the wrong forum. Try the neuropathy forum.
