Hi everybody,
so, I went to the doctor first about chest pain. This has all been checked out now (blood test & X-ray) and everything is normal. The chest pain is still there, they think it is costochondritis (inflammation of the tissue between the ribs). The weird thing is I also have sore lymph nodes in my throat, but they're not swollen. They hurt at random times, often after I drink alcohol. I've had all this for ~6 months now. The doctor mostly focused on the chest pain, but even though the lymph nodes are not excessively painful, it bothers me. Also, my shoulders and neck hurt in general, like a hardening of the muscles. I read about Hodgkin's lymphoma and I was wondering if that could also explain the chest pain, it is mostly around my breasts (I'm a 23 female, by the way) and only hurts when I press on it. I would appreciate any advice and information. Cheers!
