I can't help but feel like the enemy is attacking my body and I am loosing - I've never dealt with so many back to back obstacles in my life. This is very discouraging right now. I don't know if I am coming or going anymore and someone said to me "maybe God is trying to tell you that he doesn't want you to have this surgery" I refuse to accept that logic. Please keep me in prayer that the manifestation of God's healing comes into play really soon because I am extremely exhausted from the pain and lack of sleep. Blessings to all.

I am so sorry you are going through all this.... I get that pain quite often... I think it is a muscle.... I sit on the heating pad for hours in a day... It goes from right under my right breast all the way around ... And I have been told it is a mucscle that we use when breathing....
I hope that is all yours is....
The stress and the fear may be what is causing all your ailments.... Our bodies react in so many different ways....
I don't know if God is telling you He doesn't want you to have the surgery or not... I truly believe that only we know what HE is telling us.... Don't let anyone else influence what you believe is right for yourself....
Maybe try some natural melotonin to help you sleep, or some Tylenol PM... If you are lacking in sleep, it is hard for your body to feel body...
I will keep you in prayer that you are feeling better ASAP.... Tomorrow is Easter and the Resurrection... Believe for another miracle and that you will wake up all refreshed and feeling better...
Praying for you... Kathi

I don't know what we did to deserve you in this group Kathi but your words are always so soothing. The doctor said their is nothing there so it is muscular. I just have to find a way to deal with it but I think it got worse when i went on this protein diet - the only thing major that has changed is the almond milk i use to make my shakes tasty. I've always been lactose intolerant but this is lactose free milk. Oh well, heating pad it is - hopefully that will work. Thanks for the input love ya!

Hi Lady,

Well good news is u've probably had gambit of labs and tests which have ruled out serious things like: gallbladder, liver, pneumonia, etc. so probably pleurisy and this gets worse with colds. OTC meds can exacerbate this such as guaifenesin (mucin ex, robitussin, delsym,etc) and sudaded. Make sure ur drinking lots of fluids to help counteract. Deep breathing, although hurts, will help get better sooner.

Good luck, prayers are with you .

I had a pain similar to that once. Turned out to be a pinched nerve. My Dr was a DO and did an adjustment that fixed it right away.

((hugs))

Ive had bad enough colds that Ive actually pulled muscles before.. Hope you're feeling better real soon :)

((((HUGS)))) I hope the heating pad helps...

I've also had pain like that where breathing in and out was utter misery. They told me I had plurisy (probably doweled wrong) which is just inflammation of the.lungs. My chiropractor told me I had a rib that was out of adjustment.
As far as the person telling you that maybe the surgery isn't gods plan for you...I had some of those feelings as well. There were set backs and things that came up that made ME think it was a sign.
Choose to take it as the enemy trying to discourage you. God wants the good for us...not the bad!
This too shall pass and you'll be here with us in no time.

Spelled, not doweled.
Damn this auto correct!! I promise I can spell, lol

It sounds like your Gallbladder. Check with your doctor. debby

I agree with Debbie, have they checked your gallbladder? Your symptoms sound exactly like mine did before I ended up in the ER with an attack and had surgery. Hope your feeling better soon

Thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes. My gallbladder has been out since 2008 so that is not it. In fact it is similar to the pains that prompted them to removed it back then but that wouldn't be the problem today. I'm thinking it's more related to a pinch nerve, or just muscular as my doctor said. She was so funny, she said we've looked at your insides with every machine that we have and there is nothing, no hernia's, ulcers, bruises etc. So prayerfully just like the pain in my knees and back over time, this pain will disappear - Be blessed and Happy Easter to you all.
