Hi ladies

My most recent symptom is severe pain in my neck, shoulder, arm with numb fingers on the left side of my body. The pain also spreads to my chest. I had ecgs, blood tests and chest xrays which were normal. Any advice?

    Hello Simone, I have had similar, neck pain, shoulder and muscle pains, along with finger numbness. it lasted about four weeks and them passed, it was always worse during the night and early morning. I have also have had bouts of costochondritis as well. for me the musculoskeletal issues seem to be my worse symptoms, it never seems to end does it. As usual once one symptom passes another comes along. I hope you get some relief soon .

    Hi ladies

    I guess once we get the relevant tests and they are normal we have to find other solutions. I started physiotherapy and it is proving helpful.
