Had a little trip over to the ER today for some chest pain. After bloodwork, EKG, and chest xRays, they've ruled out the bigger issues. They still don't know the cause of this pain I've had for 2-3 weeks. Maybe some infection causing the the chest wall muscle to become inflammed. Maybe stress. Maybe a pulled muscle. We've gone over all the questions about family history, tobacco use, stress level overall, bla bla.

I should be all good but maybe I'm wound up more than I think. They told me to relax, take some dope for excessive pain, and do a follow up with my regular doc.

I'm sharing this with y'all not for my own sake but for my friends here that are like me and ignore stuff till it gets too severe and ya gotta go to the ER. If I had gone for a check up 2 weeks ago, I moth not have been in this situation now.

So go see a doc if something doesn't feel right. Itll save you the scolding from you wife after you do.

Take care of yourself. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Don't make me come to Texas and kick your arse.

I hope it's just some infection. If they took blood at the ER, wouldn't they know it's not cancer?

Yep. Cancer would normally cause an elevated WBC count, I think. Also, if it's in the chest cavity then you would probably have a swollen lymph node on your left side below your clavicle. So don't worry.

only if they test for it. I'm sure they have no reason to. I think you might be freakin' just a little. Probably something very simple.
