Finally finished cardia rehab. Only took seven months due to constant set backs. Still having a lot of chest discomfort (still can't roll over without waking up from pain) and periodic bouts of sharp pain when I breathe. Now I'm told it could be nerve damage. Just keep picking myself... Read more.

Nice. I also have some chest nerve issues, though not as severe as yours. I hope things continue to improve for you.

Wow, you ladies are way tougher than me. I might just be wimpy. They laugh when they extract my blood and i look away and get sweaty. I'm getting antsy just thinking about it. Once the elastic band on my arm gets tight, i'm done.
