Re: Pain in chest (bones) '

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have had this pain in the chest-doc said it was pleuresy (sp?). Has

anyone had that same kind of pain in their back-like in the shoulder

blades?? I've had that this weekend and can't take a deep breath or

hardly move the pain is SO BAD! There is no comfy position-I'm

wondering if this could be the RA or a cold or what? '
