Posted this in chat, meant to post here!

It started about two weeks ago, pain under the left breast which felt like indigestion. Then after a few days it got worse and started radiating up my shoulders, into my back, up my neck and even into the back of my head. Went to doctors, he examined me and ruled out heart problems, checked my breasts etc and said mastitis. I find this VERY unlikely!! my youngest child is 12 and this pain is all over my left torso and limb, mastitis wouldn't do that.

So I went away but my god it's got worse, I now feel it is below the breast, in the rib cage. If I turn over onto my left side in bed it is absolute agony. In fact, I simply can't do it, the pain is too much. Painkillers numb it a bit but I can still feel it, without painkillers, I feel like my ribs are broken.

What could it be?? Can't think of any accident I've had other than a slight car bump a couple of weeks ago but nobody was injured even slightly in that.

I have a similar pain and have got bronchitis. Have you a cough?
