Hello Lissy
I felt something similar recently , I had sharp chest pain on left side and shoulder blade also pain across mid back, I have been taught to tighten muscles in chest and release several times when I have had pain in center of my chest -usually helps, didn't this time, then pain progressed up the sides of my neck & into my ears-first time this ever happened,

first thing emerge checked was my heart cause of the shoulder pain & chest pain, also felt sick , Women have different symptoms when having heart attack than men, I was checked over thoroughly and all kinds of tests, blood work, CT scan -checking for blood clots, and exray's for lungs and kidney, all heart tests were normal, lung and kidneys a bit off but nothing to be concerned about -so now I'm wondering if it is part of MS attack now, Have you learned anything new about your symptoms ? Interested to know wether it is MS related or not? If you haven't had heart checked please do & hopefully it is ruled out for you too,

Thanks guys.
I have seen my osteopath and he has manipulated my arm and neck, it feels a little sore today(only to be expected ) but hopeful as yesterday I did have some relief.
