Hi Kari - there's a very tight feeling just under my ribs. At its worst it seems to 'spasm', very, very painful and the only medication which helps is Voltarin. I'm wondering if mine is a result of 'bracing' myself when I attempt to walk with very painful feet (ongoing for the last five years). Diaphragm started about two years ago and I thought it was too much computer work but I haven't worked for three months and with only about half and hour a day to check messages etc, there has been no change. Pain is still severe although not every day. Weird and baffling to say the least. These strong drugs and treatments must compromise the entire system and having been to a chiropractor, physio and remedial masseur, as well as discussed this with my 'brilliant' breast care physio at the hospital I am coming to the conclusion that there are no answers.I have done some Google searches but read these with a very critical approach. It appears that at times there are no definite or conclusive answers. Regards, Beryl.
