Okay, I've read a lot of these forums and
they all sound kind of a like. I've had
this problem for about 6 months now. It
seemed to have started after a night of
wrestling around w/ my b/f. Although, it
didn't start that night, it did the next
morning. I actually had pain in my chest
around my sternum area that was hurting
even w/ deep breathing. That lasted for
about a few days and then it just went to
when I sneezed and coughed or lifted
something heavy.
That seemed to have subsided after a
couple of weeks, but about 3 months ago I
got the same symptoms again. When I
sneeze and put my hand right over my
sternum I can actually feel something push
out real quick, not to mention that it
hurts pretty bad. I've tried the crossing
arm thing and that seems to help a little.
I believe this is a condition that I got
from working on a computer. I do medical
transcription so I'm on the computer 6-8
hours a day. I've changed my posture and
seating position and it doesn't seem to go
away.
I went to a chiropractor but they just
took x-rays and said everything looked
fine. I haven't been anywhere else as I
don't have insurance and I'm not about to
be referred to several different doctors
for this
Has anyone been actually diagnosed w/
anything and had it corrected? Oh-yea, it
also really hurts sometimes as I'm laying
on my stomach and try to lift myself up
starting w/ my head (as on a chiropractor
bed). That actually made me cry out a few
times in pain (embarrasing, but very
painful). Thanks
