    Just make sure those stabbing pains don't have a knife behind them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,670 ✭✭✭Doc


    How much coffee / cola / red bull have you drunk?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 810 ✭✭✭gonedrinking

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭jimthemental

    I'd be more worried about the chest pains than I would about being 20. Sure that'll pass in a few months.:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭NoDice


    I get these too! Last a good bit longer though and it hurts to move & breathe for a while. I've put it down to my fantastic diet of burgers, steaks and coca cola. Damb you age!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,581 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    Sounds like Lupus...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,332 ✭✭✭Guill


    I am not a doctor and i have zero medical training. I suspect you may be dying.

    Take cod liver oil (not the tablet, from a bottle). That will make you forget all about those pains.

    6.22am isn't late, it's very early.

    OP that sounds like "Makauppalongwordthatendsinitis...itis". When I qualified as a Doctor online last months after days of studying, I learned that a lot of these pains are related to erectile dysfunction.

    However since I'm only allowed practice in Samoa, the outerlying states of Eastern Kazakhstan and North Dutchy, maybe you should get a local juju or witch doctor to make an assessment

    Could be only palpatations - but it doesn't matter, it's worrying you and no one on boards is going to be able to take that away.

    Stress and worry can cause you to feel things more than you should, - just go to a doctor and have a chat with him/her. Be honest about lifestyle etc as well, the advice you get by telling the truth and by telling a doctor what you think they want to hear can often differ.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭pljudge321


    Its more likely just a pain in a muscle between your ribs. Use you finger to sharply poke around yor chest over your heart, i you find an area that hurts than thats what it is.

    Precordial Catch Syndrome

    Despite what the wiki says about it, it is actually fatal, I've died several times from it, so go see your doctor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,934 ✭✭✭Wossack


    from the symptoms you describe, it definitely sounds like bonus eruptus, a rare condition whereby the skeleton tries to leap out the mouth, and escape the body


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,590 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy

    Don't worry about that. I hear they are close to finding the cure for 17 stab wounds in the back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    "Sure it's just growing pains. You'll be grand - now off to school with ya!"

    That was my Dad's diagnosis for absolutely everything that hurt when I was a kid.

    Cod liver oil is so 90's. Organic hemp oil is where its at these days you guise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 178 ✭✭threeleggedhors


    I had something similar, doc asked if I had a cold or flu lately, can be the remnants of it apparantly. Well either that or you're gonna have a swift exit soon .... Goodluck ... :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 874 ✭✭✭cesc77


    I get these too.Theyre like sharp stapping pains which eventually clear after 3 or 4 seconds.They do concern me but not as much as the other area that I seem to get them in.

    Very occassionally,Ill get a sharp stabbing pain in my sphincter.The type that makes me leap about and swear.It only lasts for a few seconds also but it is an horrific excruciating experience.:mad:

    Tis a tricky one to explain to other people around me at the time and even the dog gets scared also when she witnesses this event.

    Can I just pre-empt some responses.No Im not,no I dont,it doesnt coincide with anything Ive eaten and no I havent ever spent time alone with a priest.:pac:

    please,please,let other people suffer from this also

    Apparently that is the pelvic floor muscle going into spasm, a bit like the pain of a cramp in your calf or toes .,Its excrutiatingly painful .
