    Hi Teri

    Sorry your going thru this. I have Costro for about a year and a half. I somtimes have pain under both breasts, both in the soft tissue and in ribs under breasts. Also in shoulders at times and in right arm. Thank God they ruled out anything cardiac..Great news!!!   Soft ice packs, tens unit, and Ben Gay(Muscle rubs) help alot. Also, if your able to, motrin helps too. Good luck. hope this helps. Hang in there! smile smile smile
