Hi, I was wondering if anyone has this symptom.The bones right above my chest seem tender in one spot when I push on them. I'm worried that it could be a problem with my esophagus. Can anyone relate? Thank You!

Dxd March 2012 with Lyme, Babesia, and suspected Bartonella, after suffering for 4 years, and possibly having it even longer. Same as most others, I have suffered with a long list of terrible symptoms. Also have POTS, RA and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Working with a LLMD.
