I have had chronic chest discomfort, right into my ribs and back. It is dull for the most part, not sharp at all, worse when I cough a lung out but it is always there even after I settle down. My doc attributes it to chronic coughing as well as myopathy issues (gotta have something to complicate things). I am on pain meds, a Fentanyl patch...but sometimes nothing works even breakthrough meds or heat. It is getting worse, harder to control...I know I have to bring it up to my doc, I have a visit really soon, but I just want to know if any of you guys deal with this too. Sometimes I dread chest physio, but I know it is necessary or I pay dearly. I also wonder if another infection is brewing, it has happened to me before. GAhhhh, so frustrating!
