Sounds muscular!: With all the tests and your age, it must be weight training related. Muscles tighten after exercise. There are many muscles in the upper chest area that can do this. Take an aleve (naproxen) several hours before working out, and see if improves or lessened.

Musculoskeletal pain: Your pain is related to your lifting weights and is musculoskeletal in nature .You need to condition yourself and ask a trainer if you need to make some changes they way you lift weights.Or you have to reduce the amount of weight you lift and gradually increase it.
