Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 About 3 weeks ago I awoke and felt like my entire chest all the way around was made of glass. The slightest movement was like knives through my body. My Rheumy says it could be the RA has moved into this area. I can't take a single breath without pain. I am on 20 mg oxycontin 2x daily plus vicodin for breakthrough. That manages the pain in my feet, knees, and hips - but it doesn't touch the chest pain. I'm at my wits end and feel like killing myself to stop the pain. Has anyone else had RA in this area of your body and if so what has helped you with the pain? thx.
