in answer to your questions: in the last 4 occasions of going to accident and emergency, i have numerous ECGs in the last 2 weeks(about 12), 3 each time, half an hour apart, while the pain occured, and each one came normal. every single onethe doctor assured me 100% its not the heart
So they haven't done an echocardiogram? That's not the sort of thing they'd do at the emergency department. Have you gone to see a GP? Talked with a GP about getting a referal to a specialist?
chest xrays are also clear
no it woudnt be pleuresy pain, I dont have any problems breathing
the tinglings occur in my left fingetips.
Different nerves supply different fingers. If it's all your fingertips, that seems odd.
sometimes i only need to press on pec oh so lightly and i can feel the tingling/slght soreness in my left fingertips - at these times the pec feels very sore and swollen to touch.
when i hold my left pec from the armpit and pull it gently towards my breastbone, i feel immense and concentrated pain at the left sternum area (where the left pec starts)
All the way up the sternum, or just at specific parts? Are you pressing on a lymph node in the armpit at the same time?
the most sensitive parts of the pectoral area to touch are above the nipple , on the nipple, to the right of the nipple, and near to the armpit. I start to fel bad pain while I start to apply pressure.
Here's me listening to hoofbeats and hearing zebras, but men can get breast cancer. The can also develop breast tissue, especially if they've been using steroids they bought from someone at the gym.
Last Sunday - Tuesday i didnt feel much pain at all, but I must add, on wednesday, around 5pm, I applied some mild pressure with my 2 fingertips half way up the LEFT side of my neck and felt a clicking sound as I applied this medium pressure. I did this about 8 times then stopped.
Why did you do this in the first place? Was it just a random compulsion to put pressure on your neck?
Could I have damaged a blood vessel or a nerve? Half an hour after this the waves of pain started coming on in earnest. was just walking around town.
I doubnt I have been having panic attacks.. I only had ONE about 2 months ago
That does not match with what you said in your first post:
"I dont think I will ever go to the gym again in my life for fear of reproducing what im going through. Truly horrible. Twice ive had a panic attack and felt close to death!!"
and I was incredibly short of breath. Since then - I have been in control of my breathing.
Good, breathing control is important, as well as using distraction techniques to prevent a panic attack if you feel like you might have one later.
Im sick and tired of A & E chucking me out every time I check myself in.... should I push with my GP that I see a muscle/bone specialist?
Yes. Emergency doesn't much care unless you're dying or will die if they don't find something obvious to treat you for. If your GP won't help you, get another GP.
ONe more thing, no one here has yet answered why I am getting this 'knocking feeling' in my chest when I lie down. Only when I lie down.
I sometimes get a clicking in my chest. It coincides with my heart beat. I've only had one heart problem in my life, and that was from pericarditis following immunoablation therapy. The clicking was alarming, but my doctor was right in that it is nothing to worry about. It did not (and does not, it still occurs from time to time) coincide with the immunoablation therapy.
The knock occurs about 15 seconds after I lie down. it FEELS like a palpitation but again the doctor said it would not be so.
I'd ask to see a cardiologist if you're worried about your heart, but first if there's cause an echocardiogram will show up most problems and may negate the need to try and get into see a cardiologist.
I have just gotten off the phone with the doctor - suprisingly they are fully booked today, but he recommends that I have regular warm showers and has prescribed a gel i can use. He was very very assertive and said I would not need to see a specialist.
Get a second opinion, you're obviously still hurting and are not comfortable with the attitude that your GP has taken with you.
so.. just grit and bear it I guess!
One final note, I stoped taking cocaine about 2 months ago ( I was never a regular user anyway - once a week for about 12 months), and the doctor said that this past abuse can interfere with the effectiveness of the painkillers. at the moment, im on diclofenac 50mg.
again i look forward to your replies.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
