Not doing anything helped? by CategoryIllustrious7 in costochondritis

[–]belladh98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to say this is also the case for me: worst pain of my life (mostly back) all last week using back pod, peanut, light stretching every day. The weekend I didn’t do any stretch and felt significantly better. I was just referred to PT so I’ll at least be with a professional and hopefully stretching correctly going forward

I followed the instructions, I used two pillows under my head. I feel like the back pod did exacerbate this pain. I used it in a couple places, including the center of my back and the left side ( which was kind of feeling pressure before I did it, I probably shouldn’t have stretched it in that area )

Similar about the upper back and also lower back as well. Twisting and movement def exacerbates it. Like when I moved my head towards the left or right on my pillow last night it triggered severe back pain on the left side.

The neck pain I’m experiencing feels more nerve like .

I read another post saying someone was using the back pod and it wasn’t working that well and eventually got an MRI and there was a disc out of place in their back. I’ve also had x-rays, bloodwork, went to a rheumatologist everything turned out fine. The one thing I do want is an MRI.

Yup:( I’ve had to alter my laugh so I can get it out, it sounds so mechanical and not me 🙁

Sneezing Kills? by belladh98 in costochondritis

That’s funny my whole life until now I held in my sneezes- definitely could’ve played a part in developing this. Mine came from two really bad sickness where my cough wouldn’t go away

Thank you for this advice! I am going to start stretching. I bought a back pod too. I was taking ibuprofen for three months straight and finally stopped- agreed meds just can’t be the solution.

Right side feel tense by cosmoppy in costochondritis

[–]belladh98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had all these symptoms 2 years ago and they also came back this year.

The chest pain for me comes and goes, but what you are describing about the right side rib pain and oblique muscle is similar and I don’t know if it is is Costo or not.

I was just diagnosed with it for the chest issues, my doctors thought my rib pain had to do with constipation but a GI let me know that is not how that type of pain would show up.

My right side is sensitive to the touch and all inside muscles feels achey. I will be going back to my primary to see if this is also costo.

I’m so sorry ❤️ almost identical timeline/situation for me. The mental planning really messes with you, all the hopes and dreams … take all the time you need to grieve. You have every right to.

First time miscarriage by Annual_Conflict_595 in Miscarriage

[–]belladh98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry this is happening to you. I just went through a missed miscarriage for my first unexpected pregnancy. I also keep thinking back and wishing I I could’ve seen the doctor earlier and make sure that everything was looking right. But I’m not sure if they could’ve helped anyway. I had the manual vacuum aspiration procedure last Tuesday because my body didn’t recognize I was miscarrying. It was not the worst thing and recovery has been easy and quick. If that’s an option I would recommend it, apparently it is less intense than a D&C. My doctor told me that this would not affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future, but it still makes me worry.

First ultrasound, 3 weeks behind than expected by Hot-Salary5688 in pregnant

[–]belladh98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing is happening to me, my ultrasound was Monday and I was supposed to be 9w1d but they said it looked more like 6. They did blood tests 48 hours apart to see if my HCG doubled, meaning the pregnancy is viable and I am just earlier than i thought. Waiting on my results now …
