Left side and upper back pain and sharper when I take a deep

Guest over a year ago

hey guys,

I am feeling pretty much the same symptoms as a lot of people. I have pain in my back and when breathing. I've tried hot water bottles, compression, stretching, lying in different positions but none of it seems to work! Can anyone give me any advice with how they've dealt with it seeing as I am struggling quite a bit when trying to train for netball!

Did you ever find out what this was? I'm experiencing the same thing and I just want to know if it will go away on its own or if I need to go to the Dr.

Go to a physiotherapist and ask them to click your back in trust me it works I've done it a few times.

Hi im a young female 23 , i have 2 little ones i would just like to say iv'e had the exact same symptoms and its gotten so bad i cant function it's so painful it's unreal at first i thought it was my back until i realized it was under my left shoulder blade and was radiating pain i ended up in the hospital twice over this i explained very clearly where it was bothering me how severe it was. And the massive chest pains and racing heart beat feels like im going to have a heart attach it feels like pressure or air is trapped it's sharp. I was not helped at all and it was chocked up to chronic pain.... ive been going through hell daily. For the last 2 months none stop now that its set in and gotten so bad. I had to be withdrawn from school which was very depressing i was excited about it. After reading someones post on here im positive i have pleurisy as i had just gotten a really bad virus and chest infection and was in the hospital over that. Im going to bring it up to my doctor today. My problem is getting the doctor to listen i feel im being judged by my age. I have all symptoms. It sucks and as far as pain meds nothing helps hot towels ebsin salts hot baths cold baths physiotherapy nothing has come close to fixing this thank you to who ever posted. And i wish u all good luck.

I think it may have somthing to do with caffeene or energy drinks

because I remember when I had made a habit of drinking one energy drink every day and coffey is when the pain intensified

and when I stoped caffeene all together for a few days the pain slowly went away

and now it is coming back again beacause I'm drinking them again

so it may have to do with caffene and tensed up nervous so you just have to lay of the caffene and relax

and I think stretching and exercise can beat anything but thats just my opinion

I don't drink caffeene. I don't smoke. I try to exercise often and I have this same back pain. It's not as intense as it sounds a lot of these other people have it but it's still there.

IN PAIN _ OUCH over a year ago

I've been having this pain too. It started at night while I was sleeping. I woke up and felt sharp stabbing pain in left side around my upper rib cage. I took some pain relievers which helped but as soon as they wore off the pain was back. Sometimes in hurts to breathe deeply. I'm wondering if a new pair of SPANX ("Higher Power" to those familiar with the brand) could be causing this.

I have been having the same pain, more like an ache, in the very same spot and it moves to the chest and even left side of neck. I just recently went to the doctor for a mamogram and they just informed me that they saw something on my image. It could be a sis or cancer, but I bet that's where the pain is coming from. get a mamogram (if female).
