Pain Between Clavices

This is super random - but does anyone get pain right between their clavicles in the front of the chest? It hurts when I take a deep breath sometimes and also is worse when I bend over. It feels like musculoskeletal pain. It only lasts for a few days and then goes away for a while until it comes back. I also have noticed pain in my neck kind of leading down to the inward points of my two clavicles. When I have these episodes it also kinda hurts to swallow - as if my throat feels tight or something. My thyroid levels are all normal. I was just diagnosed about a week ago and haven’t yet started cutting out gluten, as I am traveling out of the country for the next week.
 

Thanks in advance!

Are you asking about this in relation to celiac disease?

Yes. Just wondering if others have joint/muscle pain. Could be unrelated but just curious.

I had both the pain on deep breaths, like my lung was stuck, and a pain between clavicles usually if I let myself get hungry.  Both cleared after starting GFD, but I did not notice how long after.

That’s super interesting - thank you for sharing! I’ve always thought mine was just from tweaking some muscles occasionally from sleeping weird. Interested to see if it changes once I start gluten-free!

That is an area of the body prone to arthritis where the clavicles attach to the sternum. There is kind of a pseudo joint there. Does the pain coincide with getting glutened?

I was diagnosed with SIBO and this is a common problem for me.  It makes me really anxious and nervous when it happens.  I have been to the ER on a few occasions to check my heart and my cardiologist did a stress test just to rule out my heart.  

Today they are going to test me for Celiac since none of the treatments I have been doing for months are helping with SIBO.  I have lost 23 pounds in a very short time span so this too is concerning.

I am glad I found this article because if thought I was going crazy having chest pain I was afraid to mention it anymore since all cardia test were negative.  Thanks for sharing your story.

Welcome to the forum @Christy Sue, please let us know how your tests turn out. Be sure that you've been eating ~2 slices of wheat bread per day in the 6-8 weeks leading up to the blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy.

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      By trents · Posted

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement?

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
