Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hello all- I'm new to the group, but happy to be here! I'm having chest pain problems. I got sick in December, end of a bad RA flare, and started having debilitating coughing fits and pain under my breastbone and beneath my shoulder blades. Did three rounds of meds, but am still coughing. Now, months later, whenever I get breathless the pain comes back, and when I cough the pain doubles. I've tried to suggest to my local doc that it might be RA related, but he's clueless. My appt with my rheumy is in July. Anybody dealt with this before, or something like it? I've read all kinds of stuff about RA related costochondritis and pleurisy, but am hoping somebody has some personal experience they could share with me.
