Okie Dokie this is where Im at, I still have the chest pain, its terrable at night and keeps me from sleeping. I am averaging about 2 hours per night. Any of you arm chair doctors care to venture a guess why the pain increases at night and while I am laying down? Id love to know. Whith that being said I have an appointment with the pain management hospital o Jan 19th to try to help me with relieving the chest pain. My next and final Chemo Infusion is Jan 20th. I still have quite a bit of fatigue g and lack of appitite going on, its hour to hour on how I feel. Other than that...Life is Great !

Hey Gary, might have something for you on the chest pain thing, at least a thought anyway. Among other things I had a collapsed lung from my accident. A few days after getting home from the hospital, I had to go back to the ER because of severe chest pain. I thought my lung was collapsing again. Turned out that when I was healing, I developed scar tissue and adhesions between the lung and chest wall. When I lay down or recline in one position for too long, even now over two years later, I get the pain. On that stupid 1 to 10 scale it can get pretty high up, pretty quickly. Short of the long, as muscles and everything else internal relax while I'm sleeping or resting, the scar tissues and adhesions try to stretch. The thing is, scar tissue and adhesions don't stretch very well, and the end result is pain. Considering all the invasive procedures you had, there's got to be a good deal of scar tissue that's built up. I wonder if that has anything to do with your pain.
