A member asked:

Chest pain left side near heart felt when i laugh move sometimes lay on that side pain felt in arm and back bone on left side. sharp pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Musculoskeletal: Anything that hurts worse with movement is usually in the muscles or joints. This could be a rib strain or costochondritis. Either way, an anti-inflammatory (advil (ibuprofen) or aleve) may help.
