Does anyone here get severe pain in their sternum?

[Guest guest]

I am most positive that I have arthritis in my sternum. I'm making

an appointment to go back to the Rheumatologist. He took x-rays of

my chest about 6 or 7 months back.

I get these horrible pains right in the center of the breastbone. It

feels like pinched nerves and muscles. I've complained about them

before. Well, it's back. I lifted my mattress to tuck in the corner,

and wham! the pain was intense and that was yesterday. If I move a

certain way, it hurts like crazy. Does anyone else get this?

Also... if Celebrex is now being added to the list of heart

dangerous drugs... what else is there for inflamation? I can't move

at all without Celebrex. Anyone have any advice for me before I go

see my Rheumy?
