Lorna's Story

I am 63 years old and mine started 2015. My left rib and under breast area - I get these I call Charlie horses or spasms. Afterwards I get a knot. These occur when I am reaching for items, while driving and/or pushing a cart. These spasms hurt tremendously. I went to my family doctor and instead of at least ordering a CT or MRI all I got was "I have never heard of such a thing" and dismisses me! I was so angry because it's real! I read about this tonight and I am praising God for showing me all your testimonies and that COPD is causing this! And that I am indeed NOT crazy!!! Next step is calling my pulmonologist on Tuesday and setting up an appointment. Thank you so much :)
