Strange Pain...please Help Me Identify! Posted: 10-06-05 21:05pm
For the past few days, i've had an
intermittent pain of varying intensity
that seems to start about 5 inches to the
left of the bottom of my left shoulder
blade. (therefore, more of a side pain
than a back pain.) occasionally, it will
radiate from that area right through my
left breast. It starts as a somewhat
sharp sensation, and tapers to a dull
ache, lasting only a few seconds. I
cannot determine if this is muscular in
nature, or because of the location, could
it be lung related? Thanks for any
help/advice!

Hi lainie ~
I also had that kind of pain and mine was
from cervical (neck) problems.
I have had cervical fusions and I am
happy to say I no longer have that pain.
My pain was so sharp and almost heart
attach like. I actually called my ns to
see if it was my heart. I am happy to say
it wasn't.
Do you have neck pain or problems?

Thank you so much for taking the time to
reply! I have had varying back and neck
pains on & off for a number of years,
but because of the infrequency, they've
never seemed to warrant a visit to the
Dr./chiro. I do have a neck and shoulder
(upper back) numbness that does occur
quite frequently, but I always attributed
this to being -- ahem -- "top-heavy." I
wonder if this might have something to do
with my cervical spine...?

Lainie ~
it sure sounds like it could. Here is a
new support board for you to check out. I
just opened it oct. 1. I/we will be
posting a lot more information as we grow.
I would love to have you check it out.
