Could I have this?

Hi
I feel pain in my upper chest...and my upper back, but only on right side. Also sometimes I feel pain in my left hip upon waking in the morning.. But not all the time. And the pain in my chest sometimes feels like it moves an inch or two to the right..(closer to where my arm and chest meet)

I lost my job and had sever anxiety due to this. I still suffer from anxiety.

No other areas of pain

Thanks!

Hi, Lisa.

Welcome! Well, whether you have Fibro is impossible for us to say, though you certainly could. Our pain does often move around, so in the beginning, it's easy to think we are nuts! :) Almost all of my pain is also on only one side, and has been for over 25 years.

Take a look at Fibro 101, 1st thread on this forum. It has links to articles with possible symptoms, (a long list!) what else it could be, (conditions with some similar symptoms) what doctors believe is causing this wacky condition, and lots more. Maybe this could help you.

And of course, as Almost Medfree said, get checked out by a good doctor - one who believes in Fibro - because some still don't, unbelievable as that is in this day and age.

And

Try to relax Lisa,

Practice breathing in through the nose, and out through the mouth. Do check out "fibro 101". You will find a list of symptoms there. You may have costochondritis. I spelled that wrong. But it is when the pain effects the muscles in the chest. But like you said, if you are using different muscles, that could be what is going on. That does happen.

I hope that you find out what it is. I really hope that you don't have fibromyalgia.

Take care.
