Iv been having chest pain for 8 months on my last trip to a&e one of 4 they said its possibly costochondritis iv read posts on here saying about arm pain and back pain which i also get but thought was down to a nerve in my back. My problem with believing the doctors is that it isnt particularly painfull when i move my arms, cough or sneeze which i am told are main symptoms of costo well that and i havent had an actual diagnosis. Could this still be costochondritis.
