The pain Molly is right above the shoulder blades right on the spine. The breathing seem's to be the lack of expansion in the front rib cage. If I lay on two pillow's with my arms over my head then I get some relief but usually end up in the fetal position in the morning, struggling for air. I have my Rheumatologist appt. on Monday. I will see what he say's.
Good note! Since I had my Remicade infusion on Tues., I don't have any shoulder pain and I am not quite as stiff in the morning. Don't know if it is the dose of steroid he put in the i.v. before hand or the Remicade! I'll take what I can ya'know?
