chest muscle pain
Does anyone have any help for chest muscle pain? I have all the usual back and neck pain but now it's gone around the shoulders and chest. Git so bad I went to the ER. Of course they did a complete cardiac work up even though I said it was muscular. Ekg, echo, chest x Ray and CT scan (looking for embolism or clots) were all good, although I do have rhythm issues, so they sent me home with no relief. I don't do well on SSRIs and can't take Percocet or similar drugs, and Tylenol does nothing. Looking for any input. Thanx in advance.
Elli, unfortunately up to 50% of thyroidectomy patients have hypothyroidism
after 10 years (wikipedia).
Your thyroid function must be monitored carefully and on a very regular basis.
I think one of your primary issues, is diminished cellular energy production.
---Magnesium is a vital mineral used in hundreds of bodily functions.
Your cells need magnesium to activate ATP, the main energy source your body utilizes. It's deficiency is implicated in many conditions, many of them being heart-related conditions,such as angina, arrhythmia, HBP , heart attacks and heart valve issues. You should really look into this one!
---Underlying pathogenic infectious conditions like Pathogenic Mycoplasma,
Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, etc. which are notoriously hard to detect through standard testing. These pathogens love to feed off sterols from cellular membrane, which greatly compromises cellular energy.
--- Unaddressed, low adrenal function due to prolonged stress (hidden or evident) and other factors, will dictate a down-regulation of energy production, as a survival mechanism. Thyroid function will also be down-regulated, with any attempts to correct it likely to fail, since it's contrary to
direction of the adrenals.
These suspicions are unfortunately outside the scope of conventional medicine and most attempts to address these imbalances/conditions through conventional doctors are either ineffective or even dangerous.
Let me offer you a couple examples.
1. magnesium deficiencies are rarely checked and when they are, the standard blood tests indicate blood levels, right? Well, the magnesium in the blood is regulated to a narrow range of 1.00-1.50%.
The remaining 98.50-99.00% of the magnesium is found in the tissues!
So if a tissue analysis (or preferably a hair analysis) for minerals is not ordered, chances are that the doctor will find your magnesium levels OK!
2. There are very few doctors trained in diagnosing and treating pathogenic infectious conditions like pathogenic mycoplasma and company.
Thousands of patients go undiagnosed, or worse misdiagnosed, "stuck" with serious symptoms for life. And the only answer they have, is that the patient may have some incurable auto-immune like disease given some trash medical label & offered maintenance drugs for relief.
Look up Dr. Garth Nicolson, part time Expert on medhelp and also the world's leading researcher and specialist in treatment in this field of medicine.
3. A low adrenal function, from stages 1 & 2, up to adrenal failure is NOT
recognized by conventional Endocrinology till it progresses to Addison's
Disease. A little too late, I would say when the roast in the oven is already
burnt!
Please let me know if you need any details, or if you have any questions
and also keep us posted regarding any developments.
Wishing you well.

Hi! Sorry took so long to respond been feeling like utter crap lately, the bank spasms and chest pain are bordering on ridiculous. Can I still have low cellular thyroid issues after a total thyroidectomy? I'm still waiting for a referral from my PCP to go see the Rheumy do have no answers to anything as of yet.
Hi Elli.
I can think of 2 particular possibilities for you to consider looking into.
The first one being a pathogenic mycoplasma infection, extremely difficult
to diagnose with conventional tests.
The second one is low CELLULAR thyroid function ( cannot go by standard blood tests for T3, T4 and TSH, which indicate only serum levels and you may test fine -false negative- for thyroid function! )
Both conditions can explain your symptoms and ...more perhaps, which you may have not mentioned in your post.
Please let me know if you need further details.
Best wishes.

Thanx for taking the time to answer me. That's what I thought it was and unfortunately it's still going on. Not finding much relief anywhere.
I have had similar symptoms before (2x) and they have been diagnosed as costochondritis. Unfortunately, nothing helps except 800mg ibuprofen. Usually it has lasted 2-4 weeks.... Sorry for not offering another solution.
Thanx guys. Trying stretches and topical stuff like icy hot. Doesn't help that the weather here has been nuts! 70 last weekend and 17 this weekend! No wonder everything hurts.
A physical therapist showed me some good stretches while lying on a foam roller. My upper body is a bit looser. Hope this helps
