      My chronic pain started back in 01 with my first heart atack. I t got worse when the doctor cut my chest open. I have had several doctors hint of a botched surgery. But no one to say for a fact. Every test there is, has been done to my chest to figure out what causes the pain. Because it does not fit any criteria of any other abnormalities. It is called factor 'x'. Coined phrase by my heart doctor.
