Why do i always have this pain on my left lungs every nights?

Complicated: Your profiles says you've had a heart cath, CT, and chest xray so I must assume your heart has been ruled out as the cause (?). Other possibilities include pleurisy, pericarditis, and muscular pain. Rarer causes include brachial plexus injury or cervical spine injury. An EKG, sed rate, exam, and echo will rule out pericarditis or pleurisy. Careful neurologic exam will r/o nerve injury.
