A member asked:
The past days i've been experiencing pain in my right chest. it started out pretty mild. now it's a sharp squeezing pain and in my back too. and ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be lungs: Or chest wall. If it is lung, it could be pneumonia, pleuritis, pneumothorax, pulmonary embolus, etc. If it is chest wall, it could be muscle spasm, floating rib, shingles, etc. Too many possibilities to list here, some of them serious. Go see a doctor to help figure it out.
