Horrible Chest And Back Pain...please Help!! Posted: 10-22-05 13:55pm
I first starting having a sudden sharp
pain in my left side right under the
breast and after about a month of it I
lost it and went to the er thinking I had
a heart problem. I had an ekg and chest
xray and bloodwork done 3 times and
everytime they were fine. I have
continued to have the pain for the past 4
months but now it has changed and I have
this constant pain all over my chest that
is sometimes stabbing, dull, or burning.
Also it is in my back and neck and
sometimes my arms. I am completely worn
out from it because my doctor says he is
at a loss from what it could be.
Originally thinking it was pleurisy, but
now she does not have a clue. This is
scary to me because I have such intense
pain that does not ever go away. I fear
it could be my heart or something serious
even though the dr assures me it isnt.
I do have anxiety, but this is so much
different than anything I have ever
experienced before. If anyone could
help, id greatly appreciate the
feedback.
Thanks...............

The pain is predominetly on the left side
from the breast down and around in my
shoulder blade area in the back, but can
be realy widespread to other areas as
well.

Have a Pain Specialist Evaluate. Posted: 11-01-05 23:33pm
Find someone who deals in pain control.
The pain you describe is too wide-spread
to be a pinched nerve, for instance. A
normal physical exam would eliminate
things such as pneumonia. You didn't list
fever or or other somatic symptoms.
But you should continue to seek competent
evaluation.
I don't want to suggest a cause. It
could be simple or serious.
