I am 26 and weight 225.
I have had constant upper left chest pain for 2 years. It also goes through to my back. The pain feels like it comes from the center of my body. It is a constant throab. Sometimes it turns into a burning feeling. It is the worst in the morning and wakes me up every couple days. If I sleep on my left side it hurts the worst, and only sleeping on my back gives me a chance. I feel like it gets better throughout the day. I usually take an aleeve or two to help the pain. I think it came from basketball or golf. I have been playing golf 3 or 4 times a week my whole life and play basketball twice a week. I have seen 5 doctors and one said costochondrisis, and I took a lot of motrin and aleeve for a few weeks but it did not help, one said acid reflux I took aciphex and it did not stop pain but I think I needed it anyway. I had a cortisone shot and it did nothing. I have had chest and neck x-rays which showed nothing. I had an EKG, nothing. I also had an MRI which was negative. My chiropractor think it is a rib out of place. I really do not know and it has been to much, any help?
