i have chest wall pain, and it goes to my breast--what could be causing this?

Question

Can you help? Could strengthening the chest muscles cause breast shrinking?

Answer 1

Muscle spasm: You have two big flat muscles in the chest -- the pectoralis muscles. If they spasm, it causes very intense, sharp stabbing pain, which can go to your breast. Comes and goes, might be brought on by using your arm/back/abs on that side. Massaging your chest (just like rubbing a charley horse out of a calf spasm) can help. If this occurs with exercise, eating, strong emotion --> check out heart.

Answer 2

Multiple things: Could be a problem with skin, nerves, muscle, shoulder, lung, heart, or stomach. See your doctor for a more thorough history, physical exam and further evaluation. If you sleep on your stomach you could have a neck strain that radiates pain to the chest or arm. Get checked out just to make sure.

Answer 3

Uterine movement: It could be movement of the uterus during intercourse. It is held in place by ligaments which can get stretched.

Answer 4

First and foremost: The fracture has to be immobilized by a cast or splint. That alone will make things a lot better. After that, there are pain medications to help deal with the early days following the injury. The pain will ease up considerably, long before the fracture has completely healed.

Answer 5

Be aware : Be aware of proper body mechanics by using your legs as your power source and keeping the load close to your body while avoiding any type of twisting or rotation as you lift. Know your limits especially with large, bulky objects or heavy ones.

Answer 6

Supportive footwear: Heel pain often caused by insufficient support of feet. Orthotics are very helpful.

Answer 7

Supportive shoes and: If you have some mechanical abnormalities, orthotics. Its a combination of faulty mechanics meeting with opportunity that provides the trigger for heel pain.

Answer 8

Stretching: Keep the plantar fascia stretched out. Wear proper shoes for activity.Avoid hard surfaces as much as possible.

Answer 9

Depends on the cause: Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as, diabetic neuropathy, infection, tendonitis, arthritis, stress fracture, nerve irritation, retained foreign body, bone tumor, or a cyst. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Answer 10

By keEping : Your achilles' tendon well stretched.

Answer 11

Still healing?: If the epididymitis was cleared by the antibiotic, the symptoms should have remitted by now. Possibly there is residual cord inflammation leading to persistent pain. You didn't mention if the physical exam was normal or not. Please see your doctor for an actual examination again, or consult a urologist to see what's going on.
