Pain above left breast, left armpit and shoulder

Hi. Since April I have had pain above my left breast. It's not constantly there, but it comes and goes. Sometimes it feels like a burning pain, other times it feels like a cramp. I've also felt it in my armpit at times and it will also creep up over my shoulder. Although I VERY RARELY feel it on the right side, it DOES happen once in awhile. But for the most part it's been my left side. I've had all the heart tests, including stress echo, I've had an MRI of my brain and neck, I've had a breast exam. I've even seen a chiropractor. Every test they've done comes back normal. And nothing seems to help. I've tried aspri - doesn't work. I try massaging my breast and shoulders and that seems to help a tiny bit. Usually the pain is very dull...but one night I woke up in excruciating pain for about 10 seconds, then it went back to being dull. I'm 24, and I am being treated for Anxiety/Panic Disorder. My Psychiatrist does not think it's related. Does ANYONE have ANY ideas about what could be going on with me?!?!?!

Please stick to the nature as nature has cures to all ailments. cut off sugar, oil, meat or any processed food intake for at least one month. Do some exercise.... starting normally and increasing the exercise intensity and time up to a level where your body should drench with sweat.. use garlic,onion juice with honey or alone... but the most important is "sweaty exercise"...

I can't agree more. I stopped sugar, caffeine intake and I am currently on garlic soaked in raw honey, I take green tea(Dried moringa leaves) first thing in the mornings, I eat moringa seeds at night(Helps me get good sleep) and I have felt much better, even thou my underarm pain is still there, but it has reduced greatly and I believe it caused by anxiety.
