Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 The chest/breast pain is definately the worst. Mine also stretches into the armpits. I find that doing door stretches (where one hand is against the door jamb and you push your body forward just a little bit) with my arm at different levels is a real help. My massage therapist and chiropractor gave me those stretches. I also have my boyfriend (cause my massage therapist won't do it) massage the breast tissue. I think the pain in my chest/breast area is directly related to my back pain-- my massage therapist and I have found numerous trigger points that lead straight to my back from the chest. > The reason I was DX with FMS was because of my severe chest, sternum, and rib pain. I am still finding it hard to take a deep breath due to my continuous chest and sternum pain, but it's getting a little better. I thought I was the only one, since many on this list seem to have all around pain (mostly). The rest of my body aches, but my chest and ribs the worst. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
