Oh Joy! I am sorry to hear that you suffer the same as we but I am also happy to hear that others experience this because perhaps if enough of us mention it, the drs may accept the possibility of endo implants/or symptoms related to endo in other places besides the pelvic cavity. I, too, have ended up in the ER for left chest pain and left arm pain -- am convinced its endo/hormone related. The two worst times were when I was first put back on the pill for endo and when I was most recently put on the Continuous bc pill for endo -- this last one with the continuous bc pill caused upper left chest pain (always in the exact same spot) so severe that it felt like contractions, and the pain went all the way down the left arm; also experienced the endo burn pain under the left armpit on the side of my left chest/ribs.
