so i wake up this morning with this crazy pain in my chest, like on the right side, above my boob, pretty much in this exact same location the whole time and when i breathe it's like burning knives stabbing me. so i go to work thinking it's heart burn or something and it won't go away so of course i become obsessed with it and then finally around 2 i crack and tell my boss i need to go to the clinic... thinking oh god i probably just made the biggest over reaction ever and i get to the clinic and turns out i have costochondritis. i get some drugs and im back at work, waiting to hit up the dentist at 4pm so i can get those hideous metal fillings removed and replaced with white ones. what a lovely day eh? however my teeth DO look unbelievable. you should go to my dentist actually. i didn't even feel the freezing and the whole process was quick and painless, like for real im not even half joking. this dentist is frigging awesome. go to him.

This condition is thought to be most commonly due to repetitive microtrauma, or overuse. This means that activities are causing repeated damage to the cartilage of the chest wall leading to inflammation. The most frequently affected age group is young adults between 20 and 40 years old.

shit dood, that sucks. I once thought i had cancer or something because of the pains in my lungs and chest. But instead it's arthritis in the cartilage that holds the ribcage together :-|

We are all slowly falling apart.
