Hi

Has anyone had problems with an inflamed breastbone due to RA? I have just been to the doctors with chest pain along the sternum and he said it was an inflamed breastbone but did not know what the cause was.

Wishing you all a good weekend

Jenni has posted about this on here several times but I'm no good at finding threads! I'll have a look and see what I can find xx

I had an inflamed collar bone (at least I think that's what it was.....the bone between the shoulder and the neck) during my severe flare up. When I leant backwards it felt like the bone was dislocating and it actually made me scream out in pain a few times. It was agony!!! I do sympathise. X

I've had pain in my chest since last May everytime I take a deep breath in. I can't laugh, sneeze, cough or yawn without it hurting. I did have a spell of having stabbing pains in my chest area. Made me scream out in pain, thankfully that seems to of stopped now. I have seen two GP's during this time, one said it wasn't related to RA, just one of those things, the other said it was because of my RA. Saw consultant last week and he thinks its muscular, so I don't really know what to think, apart from the fact I don't like it and it hurts.
