Hello everyone,
I am a 26 year old healthy individual. When I say healthy, I mean that I do not get sick a lot and when there is something wrong, I usually shrug it off and wait for it to go away. However, I'm in a lot of pain and have no answers. On Saturday evening, I was watching a movie with my husband and laying on my left side when I began having a pain like a stitch in my side from jogging. Not thinking much of it, I went on with my evening and went to bed uncomfortable, but thinking it would be gone by the early morning. Sunday came around and it still wasn't any better and by the evening it had grown worse. Monday came and I had absolutely NO energy, so I slept all day long (completely not normal) and finally around 4 p.m. I called my Mother in Law and had her take me to the ER. They ran multiple tests: 2 view chest x-ray, my blood (looking for the clotting factor), and an EKG. Everything turned out normal. No pulmonary problems, my lungs and EKG looked perfect. They discharged me and told me to take care of my pain with 800 IBPruofins and 2 tylenol every 4-6 hours. This doesn't help. I called my primary and he wants to see me in 1 week to see if it doesn't clear up on its own.
I feel like no one is listening to me, I HURT. It hurts to breathe in and radiates into my left shoulder and down my arm, so I take short and shallow breaths. I use a heating pad under my left breast and abdomen area, and can only lay on my right hand side to sleep through the night. I have never felt so miserable, exhausted, and so neglected in my life. I find myself breaking down and crying because I am at a loss for what is wrong with me and my doctors have no explanations.
Please, if you know anything or anyone with the same thing going on, message me. I would greatly appreciate any insight as to what this is.
