arthritis in rib/sternum - HOW?
have had pain in my chest since Feb., when I had a viral flu. I had just quit smoking after about 13 years, so I had a chest x-ray that came back normal. I was diagnosed with chostrocondritis (sp?) in ribs and was treated for that with two rounds of steriods and pain meds. Then they switched me to prilosec, etc. thinking it may be heartburn. I switched docs at this point. The new doc sent me for a bone scan. The doc there that briefly reviewed it said it looked unremarkable. I got a note in the mail today, saying some arthritis appeared in my sternum and ribs. I am healthy, 31. What could this be and how could it be caused. It does not run in my family. I also have heel spurs (on both feet), and occaisionally get heat sensations up my right leg. Help, I am a nervous wreck!
