Look up costochondritis.

It has to be related to mercury poisoning. I had those pains at least once a month since the late 60's.in fact I had a regular MD do an ECG on me in about 1977 the pains were so prevalent. Since having my amalgams removed in June 04 I might have had a minor incidence twice a year.

I do not understand why the pains come- initially I remember that they felt like the worst heartburn ever. My presumption is they are another neurological symptom of mercury--- just like rapid heart beat
