Upper back and Chest Pain

for the past 3 months i have been seeing doctor after doctor and being taking various kinds of medication (nim, arcoxia, cataflum, etc) to help with the pain.

I have a sharp pain in my chest which shoots straight to my upper back. it hurts when i lay down and try getting up (on movment) but not as i walk about. I have no problems in breathing. The pain comes as i put pressure on my chest i can feel the pain in front and on my back.

The medication helped the pain go away but after a couple of days the pain returns (same story over and over).

I need some help, i cannot even hold my kids at shoulder level.

I have done x-rays, blood tests (of all kinds) and heart specialist. I was told to take those various pills. I have not done an MRI as yet. Would you suggest i do one? In Cyprus it is very expensive and that is one of my downfalls (economic issue)

I sleep with one soft to medium hard pillow at night.

regards,

Chris

I have some questions for you...

What imaging studies have the doctors you visited ordered, if any? Have you consulted with a chiropractor yet?

What kind, and how many pillows do you sleep on at night?

Warm wishes,
AT
