[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 112488"] Janet - I had symptoms similar to costochondritis (and have had them a lot recently) the day before this started happening. This is mostly in my back and wraps around my ribs on the left side. Loth - You're right. Heat makes it worse...makes it feel like it's spreading. It's not as intense today...just feels like I've been beaten up. There's no way to get comfortable. I finally fell asleep around 7am, but was awake every time I moved. I FINALLY got a hold of the rheumatologist office today. Doctor's office and I have both been trying since the end of November. And of course they need a referral from the doctor faxed. Sigh. So, I called my doctor and they are doing that right away. I'm going to give it 5 minutes and call back. If I can't get anyone AGAIN, I'm calling the insurance company and letting them handle it. I'm not sure what an orthopedist would do? Could you help me with that? My doctor thinks it's a connective tissue disorder. Would I see a rheumatologist or an orthopedist for that? [/QUOTE]
