Costochondritis.

What? I went to the doctor (pain management) yesterday to get an epidural for my neck. I was referred by the orthopedic surgeon, who said he thought the pain in my shoulder was coming from a pinched nerve in my neck. However, during the exam with the pain management doctor, she said it didn't sound like a pinched nerve. She though the sharp pain I felt in my chest when I moved my shoulder a certain way was actually costochondritis. (I still can't pronounce this.) She gave me a couple of shots of a steroid (I think) in the cartilage somewhere around my breastbone. If you want to know more, click the link.
