I used to get it all the time would throw myself into the bed and then could not move at all it was horrible my RA meds seem to control that not as well and have not had it for a long time the doctor would always say it won't hurt you and i would be thinking you get it and see if it does not hurt i knew he meant long term but it is the worst pain i have ever had and have had people to come to the ER many times when i was working thinking they were having a heart attack. So know exactly what you mean and i feel for you it is rough

Yes mine was diagnosed by CT Scan. Plus I had to go see a cancer doctor just for safety sakes but it turned out well. No cancer!!😊

I have had it many times but thank goodness it hasn’t lasted very long. I have had Pneumonia 3 times in the last two years and it usually leaves me Costochondriti. Once I was having lunch with my sister and three daughters when I got the pain that I got really red in the face and started to sweet really bad. My sister and I decided to go home and not go shopping with the girls. I got so hot water was dripping off my very red face. She talked me into going to the nearest hospital. I was there two days because they thought I may have a heart attack. I had a lot of tests to rule out any heart problems.

Yep, me too. Had it for about 5 years. I've had RA for years and always having weird pain, rashes, etc. RA effects your whole body and makes everything go haywire. I usually just ignore that kind of stuff because it usually goes away sooner or later.

Yes!! I have had it quite a few times in my legs and arms and have mistaken it for a possible DVT. It's true! That's how much it hurts!
