Pain under left breast radiating to back
Common Questions and Answers about Pain under left breast radiating to back
breast
Please help.. I have back problems, but never have I experienced this much pain.. Monday I started to have pain in my neck. It felt like I hade a crick in it from sleeping on it wrong, but I was at Walmart when I started experiencing the pain. It got worse that night. The pain then started going down to my shoulders. When I laid down in my normal sleeping position, on my left side with my arm under my pillow, I couldn't put my arm under my pillow because the pain was so bad..
Three years ago, while pregnant with my daughter I started to feel pain under my left rib cage. The docker thought it was her feet brushing against my ribs. Three years later, I am still in pain. Now the pain won't go away. I have had every test under the sun done. Endoscopy, colonoscopy, upper gi, stress test, heart ultra sound, EKG, five other types of ultrasounds ranging from uterus to spleen to gallbladder. I have had chest x rays too. Recently the pain is so bad sometimes it wakes me.
I have quite a bit of muscle aches and pains, mostly in my back. I'm pretty sure this is cause by carrying around up to 40 lbs of school supplies for eight or more hours a day plus the stress of a new school year (although I had pretty terrible back pain during the summer, it was usually relieved when I got someone to help me pop my back). However, the back of my neck and shoulders always feel stiff and tense, no matter how much massaging/relaxing I try.
My recent problem is that I have been feeling extreme discomfort and radiating pain in my LEFT armpit. I felt around and discovered a lump larger than the one on the right side and more in my armpit area. I am experiencing this radiating shooting and burning pain that shoots through my left breast and up into my arm. I am a little bit worried about this because the pain in getting worse and my GP did not feel this lump.
I have a pain in my left breast, my arm and my back. My pain in the left breast first began one morning. That night I was sleeping wearing a bra, and the wire was poking out of my bra and digging into my skin. Also, when I checked the breast there was a red mark on it. The pain was there for almost 2-3 days, after that every thing was normal, the mark was gone and I didn’t feel pain any more.
For years had symptoms and pinpoint low back pain and left bottom-end rib pain. Also in this quadrant=pain. Nothing on Right. Liver? I just found new tests (beyond the basics) I would like to take-for carcinoid syndrome! Ultrasound says OK? All unsure what causes pain, even Hepotologists! so I should clear HCV first and then see? Anybody similar pain? Only have hypertension besides. Aorta pressure?
Before I was taking Prednisone and when I was experiencing that extraordinarily sharp, searing, radiating pain up the chest, toward the armpit (Jo reminded me of this in something she said) I used to get symmetrical non-pain sensations in the other breast at roughly the same time. Exactly symmetrical. I found this fascinating, but no doc was as fascinated by this as I was.
I had a similar problem with my back and chest where I had pain and radiating pain to my back, shoulder and neck. I went to a physical therapist and she applied some stretching to my back and chest muscles and it realeased to the point that I could breath better. Also, many chiropractors are good at adjusting the chest and back joints where it releases and allows you to breath better. I know it sounds weird, but for me it really worked.
ULTRA SOUND, anything I thought do not give up on me, my pain is real, this pain is new to me. I had my youngest brother ignore his pain, until it sent him to the Hospital, by then he was diagnosed with terminal Pancreatic Cancer, he was diagnosed in early Nov. passed away Dec.23, 2006, he had just turned 44yrs old. If there is anything going on I want to catch it early, if you know what I mean.
I went to ER and i have Mastitis, the pain was so terrible that it started radiating in my back and i couldnt left my right arm. I had switched to nursing DD at night when i went bacxk to work(she is7 months now. So i was deciding not to BF any more but i wasnt sure when would be a good time, since i have mastitis and the medication that im on the ER dr told me to pump and dump for the next 10 days, so i figured this would be a good time to stop BF.
When I do a deep exhale and shrink my lower abdomen (above the pubic bone), I can see a pain originating from my lower abdomen and feel like it is radiating downwards to my left groin, left testicle, left back and left leg. I can also see the pain radiating all the way to my feet.
Somebody please help me understand what this strange pain could be.
Hi,
I don’t think your problem is related to a breast condition.Pain under your left breast, could be due to several things. For example,Costochondritis, (chest wall inflammation) flatulence,ulcer,angina, pulled muscle,acid reflux, stomach inflammation etc...All these symptoms could very well cause the pain you are describing.
Therefore,,if I were you, I would consult a doctor as soon as possible to diagnose the underlying cause.
Best wishes..

A few of these may not be detectable on regular imaging techniques such as the x-rays/ ultrasound or blood tests and may require further evaluation. Radiating/ throbbing pain is more likely to be related to neuro-vascular causes or rarely hormonal/ endocrine abnormalities and micronutrient deficiencies. It would be best to get this evaluated by an orthopedician with opinion from a neurologist and vascular medicine as well. If a cause is diagnosed, it can be managed accordingly.
Hope this helps.
