Question 1

im having a sharp pain under my  right breast area and its been happening for a few months now. can you please help me?

Accepted Answer

Sharp pain: If the sharp pain is very fleeting and aggravated by a deep breath it may be a pinched intercostal nerve or muscle that runs between 2 ribs. Another possibility is a strained portion of the rib cage. These conditions  usually resolve with rest unless there is ongoing strain. Since your discomfort has persisted,I recommend an examination of your breast and chest to include a lung exam as well

Pregnancy could be in play though less likely .I suggest evaluation

Question 9

when i breathe, i feel a stabbing or sharp pain in my chest, could it be benign chest wall pain?

Accepted Answer

Likely: Stabbing sharp pains in the chest which are worsened with breathing qualify as what physicians call "pleuritic" chest pain because they usually indicate an irritation of the lining of the chest - the pleural surface which has sensory endings similar to those seen on the skin that localize pain very specifically (locationwize) and very intensely.
Pleuritic pain is frequently from benign causees.

Accepted Answer

Costochondritis: = inflammation of the cartilages between your ribs and breastbone (sternum) is a very common condition. Try applying ICE or HEAT or BOTH (which ever helps most) to the place(s) where you feel the pain!
OTC NSAIDS (eg: Ibuprofen) may also help!
