A member asked:
Sometimes after weight lifting, i get severe sharp pains in my back near my lat, but feels like it shoots thru my heart...what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: A herniated disk problem in the thoracic spine that would radiate around the whole chest and go to the front, but it's uncommon for it to happen there. Could also be rib dysfunction, such as slipping rib, causing severe pain, worse with activity and deep breathing. See your doctor for physical exam to find out the real cause.
