Could be a minor pneumothorax, in which case if it gets worse, seek medical attention right away, most often they heal naturally, but put you out of commission slightly for a few weeks.

sometimes you just gotta go to the doctors - I worried myself sick for weeks on end when I thought I had a lump in the family jewels. turned out to be nothing (grissle they told me), I felt like a right prat :oops:

:twisted:

Haha well thats a pretty serious matter HTH I wouldnt feel embarrased. Apparently its just bad indigestion, acid trapped in the chest or something. So Mrs 38th was right. They gave me some medecine so hopefully I'll be allright soon.

Well we both hope you feel better soon Tom. It is best to check with a Doctor if you get pains where you shouldn't. And HTH's experience also shows that you should never let embarrassment get in the way of a diagnosis. My son had a similar problem when he was 14 ( a very sensitive age) and he showed courage by coming to me with it and together we had it checked out and , as in most cases, it was a cyst and nothing to worry about. A friend/colleague at work has just undergone surgery for bowel cancer- hopefully he will be ok but it is touch & go. I am a believer in complementary therepy however it means just that, complemtary to conventional medicine. Sorry chaps, I seem to have rambled.

I'm still laughing that there's a 3 page thread about indigestion on a guitar forum :P

:twisted:

To be honest I'd rather have a woman doctor - if she has to feel your nuts at least you can pretend its to do with some kind of sick medical fantasy :D

sambo · « **Reply #42 on:** March 19, 2006, 07:52:46 PM »

hahaha i wouldnt say that sort of medical fantasy is necessarily sick :P :D :lol:

hahaha trouble is, if the female doctor is hot and "inspecting" you, then a problem might arise ..... :lol: :lol:

sambo · « **Reply #44 on:** March 19, 2006, 07:57:44 PM »
