I have had trouble with my chest since xmas. I had a chest infection,i had 3 courses of antibiotics. Now my breathing is bad. I have been told to come off mtx for the time being. All i hope is that the pain i'm getting doesn't get worse. What on earth is falbraniager?

YEAH! What is that? Thought maybe a typographical error

Maybe breaking it down to syllables...? L.x

Hi Julie,
I wonder whether you mean fibromyalgia? The spelling is not obvious! That's a disease quite a few people on here have, as well as RA. I don't have it thankfully, but apparently painful. Hope they track down a full diagnosis for you so it can be treated. But you must be relieved that not a problem with your heart. Polly

Hi
Doctors say that there is a joint in the chest at top of ribs thats causing the problem.Feel silly as did not know there are joints in the chest area.I am learning all the time.Thank you for your replys I truly am greatfull.

HI Julie, know exactly what you mean - i have also that I was told something a bit different - the rheumatoid arthritis has affected the thoracic spine which circles the chest and upper back and when it is inflamed puts pressure on the chest walls thus the pain. I am really vague about joints and things like that as well - part of me doesn't want to know but the more appointments i have the knowledge grows.
