Chest and neck pain
I am a 34 year old female suffering from chest and neck pain from past 1 yr. It started with chest pain in winter season. Earlier also from childhood also I had this chest pain which used to go away within a few weeks. This time chest pain started radiating to neck shoulder and my left arm. I took Bryonia Alba for 4 weeks and Ranunculus Bulbosus for another 4 weeks. Found some relief but the pain doesn't go away. Starts when I get up in the morning and subsides only when I sleep. Chest X-ray is normal. Cervical X-ray there are some deformities like fused vertebrae and slight curvature which the doctors say is by birth so now what medicine or treatment should I undergo. I am confused as to what exactly I am suffering from is it cervical spondylitis, costochondritis or some gastric problem as I also get lot of continuos burps. Please advice.CervicalPatient on 2013-10-26

chest pain started in winters and almost every winter I used to suffer. No accident or trauma.
by emotionally disturbed here I mean due to my pain I always think of my illness not able to concentrate on anything.
I feel better with upper back message and bathing with hot water. sometimes also feel some fluttering in chest. I have tried to explain whatever I could think of.

The starting point of pain is between the breasts but not exactly center, slightly towards left. It radiates upwards to neck, head and shoulder
How does the pain respond to pressure, massage, heat
I feel releif with pressure massage and heat. Often ask my kids to sit on my upper back. Whenever I do massage I burp a lot and feel good.
How do you feel mentally when the pain is present, please explain
It is always in my mind that I am not well and not able to concentrate on anything.
Is your stool always loose or changes between loose & hard on different days
It is not always loose but never feel it is very hard. Sometimes loose and sometimes normal.

When I asked how do you feel mentally, I meant do you feel irritated, restless, want to be alone, angry, weepy etc. Please reply
fitness last decade
I feel all what you mentioned but since the pain is through out the day can't be alone, angry or weepy all the time. I try to engage myself in some work and wait for night to come when my pain will be gone.

one more thing I wanted to mention was that doctors say that due to cervical I am having chest pain but I feel it is due to chest pain I tend to bend my neck forward, because of which I am having neck pain. Not sure why but whenever I have this chest pain I keep my neck slightly bend in forward direction. Also standing erect on my toes and streching my arms gives me relief in pain.

I took 2 doses of phosphorus 200 as you suggested. 1 dose yesterday night and 1 some 2 hrs back. Its too early to undestand the changes but I feel I am burping comparitively less. Chest and neck pain started in the morning as usual. no new symptoms, so should I continue with the dosage as suggested for few more days?

It has been 7 days now since took the last dose of Phosphorus 200. The only change I onserve is that I have not seen blood in my stools apart from that rest all symptoms are same the pain starts in the morning till I sleep at night. Some days I burp more some days less. When I eat less Burping is less. I feel restless throughout the day like before no change at all.
Please advice what should I do next?
