Chronic pain: Your chronic pain should be further evaluated, especially if it is progressively worse. A lung ultrasound may add information if there was no recent thoracic imaging. It is reassuring that the MRI was negative. Your physicians are evaluating you for non thoracic causes of the pain. If you have GERD symptoms, over the counter therapy may be initiated while awaiting imaging. Drink fluids.
