What could this be?

Last week I started having back pain which started radiating in the chest. Now under my left ribcage it is hurting and radiating to my back. It feels as if it is bruised at times. My arm feels weird...in my joints..When I take a deep breath in it hurts as well. What could this be?

FYI,..I also had my gallbladder taken out about 2 years ago

I get the same thing and I have had it for years.I kept telling my neurosurgeon it was my thoracic, I had MRI after MRI and they still say it is not in my mid back.I can not find a solution to this day as to why thins happens to me, I have even went so far as to think I was having heart problems and had all sorts of test done for that. You may want to see a neurologist and get some testing done, my best advice is ask your primary for a referral to a neurologist and tell him or her what is going on

Well, it could be pleurisy as that hurts like a stabbing pain when you breath in. You should see a doctor they can start with listening to your lungs and heart. If that is normal and EKG is normal then have them refer you.

Thank you for a response. I took some pain pills and it has gone away...at least for now. I still would like to find out what it is but don't have insureance and the money to do so.
