the pain stayed relatively the same, except that my upper back became stiff as well, and i had occassional sharp pains and twitching in my abdomen and
back. upon arriving
back in minnesota my
neck became very
stiff, and although i stopped smoking (i smoke roughly a cig or two daily) after the scare of the chest pains, i shared a cigarette with my friend, and woke the next day with a bad sore throat. my neck then became extremely stiff, as did many of my joints.
