Hi Lillian,

It's hard to say whether your chest pain is due to RP.

I would talk to your doctor about it.

In my case, I have had pain in my sternum and ribs

several times and it was diagnosed as costochondritis

due to RP. Apparently the cartilage that connects the

ribs to the sternum was inflamed. (Quite common in

RP.) It was very painful when inhaling deeply or

moving. My doctor treated it with anti-inflammatories

and pain meds and it went away in a few days.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Love (but no big bear hugs this time!! LOL),
