Uncommon costo symptoms

Hi Amy. I get pins and needles in my hand and arm, on and off. I've got it right now. X

Yes I sometimes get pains in the affected shoulder and tingling down inside of arm and into fingers

Me too Tracy !

Sound a lot like me Lucy! Irritating isn't it 😕

Yes it certainly is! Also get tingling in my foot, which always feels swollen but isn't - that's a weird one lol!

I get that too!! All left side as well which makes it worse. I've been back and forth to doctors for cardiac tests for over a year 😔 It can definitely take over your life if you let it. The thought of putting up with this for the rest of my life massively annoys me though! Just have to remember not life threatening and get on with it  

Hello I too am having cardiac test . Which have you done ? And what are doctors saying about the condition ? 

Hi Simone, I've had numerous ECGs, echogram and my bloods done. All come back as negative, I was diagnosed with Tietze as my chest wall is so painful to touch and my cartilage on my ribs is swollen. Pain comes and goes and symptoms can differ on each return. If you're finding your chest is painful to touch it's probably a lot more likely to be this condition and not cardiac. Hope this helps!

Hello yes I have had numerous ekg and have an echo scheduled for Friday . It's sore touch the sternum and when I press it there is a sinking feeling like when you go on a roller coaster ride and your stomach drops excepts it's the dropping feeling when pressed on the sternum . I ordered a back pod . I will privately email you about this . 

I have had many cardiac tests as well. Stress test, echo, and many ekgs. It is a scary feeling. But drs reassure me its not life threatening Thank God! I have burning pain in my chest.  and was diagnosed almost two years ago. It has gotten worse with menopause. My cardiologist thinkks it will get much better wen im done with menopause. Have you tried arnica gel? I use soft cold ice packs all day long. They really help me. Or a TENS unit?  So glad for this site. So we can all share our stories nad help each other. Wud be great if the drs cud find a cure!!!!!! 

Hi Simone,

Howd your tests go??? How r u feeling? Hows backpod helping? Hows ur Dad?

Not so much anymore but yes, at one point my whole chest and upper left arm were tingling. Scared me enough to take myself to A&E but turned out to be my costo made worse my by anxiety

I hope you don't ever experience the weird burning/tingling muscle feeling, it's so odd! But if you do, don't worry, it's all part of the weird side of costo.

That's interesting, I developed a tingling in lower legs which only comes on when I'm slightly cold - when I say slightly I mean slightly, as in anything where there's a slight breeze or I'm not totally warm.

I went through the motions of thinking it was diabetes - although I've had blood tests and never showed signs of being pre-diabetic/having abnormal sugar levels - and then I just put it down to anxiety because I had started a new job at the time.

I'm wondering now if it may be costo related...

Hello Lucy

I'm still looking for answers to all of this and wanted to add thatlicensees do also get tingling in my foot too for time to time I tend to find myself squeezing my foot and shaking it it brings on my anicety something rotten. Im doing Alli can to work a treatment plan based on a lot of information from this site as well as others. I have to keep going for my daughter.

All the best
