almost three months ago I started getting chest pains and pain when I swallow or drink ..Primary doctos says esophagitis put me on prilosac and gaviscon..Besides the chest pain I then started getting severe back pains between shoulder blades so severe I went to an orthapedic surgeon who thinks i must have tore a ligament...rerst heat and pain meds...Istill have this and went to a chiropractor who sees me twice a day and says I have a pinched nerve....I have had 3 sets of xrays and 3 mri all of which show nothing that significant to cause such pain. I am 55 year old female and have had my gal bladder removed years ago...I'm self employed so lack med. ins. at this time. going back and forth to three doctors with no real relief has me confused and depressed. do I have two seperate problems or just one.
