left side rib area

I had a couple incidents were I fell out of a truck and some stairs, lifting heavy things.  I had injury to my shoulder musle subcrapularias?  Then my rib area on the left side.  When I sit it feels that my rib is crushing into my side.  I have pain on the side of my back were the ribs are located like a tearing stretching and goes into my lower muscle by my hip and upper buttocks area that muscle there.  I have numbness in my left arm, leg, along with tingling down to my to last fingers pinky and third digit.  I have been to every doctor, Neurologist, EMG conduction, orthorpedic, chiropractor, homopathic doctor, Physical Therapy and trigger point massage therapy.  I am no going to a pain management were I have had 5 trigger point injections done with no relief.  I had MRI of my spine lumbar all good no fractures, spinal cord normal, etc.    I am at my witts end with this pain.  The numbness and pain are to much.  Do you have any idea what it could be?

Thanks for you comment.  I had a EMG done and they said my nerves were good.  I had MRI done and showed nothing.  I am at a loss on this and apparently no doctor can tell me what it is.    thanks again
