Upper Back Pain On Left Side, Seems To Be Swollen, Leg And Breast Pain. Cause Of Pain?
Hi, I am a 24 year old female and I have recently started having upper back pain on the left hand side, when I touch it it feels slightly swollen compared to the right side of my back. The pain is mild but I can feel it more when moving around. I also have left leg pain and and pain under and my left breast (that has been going on since last year, have been to the doctor a number of times and had an X-ray , they dont know what is causing the pain, X-ray cam back clear). Do you have any idea what this could be and why my back is suddenly hurting?

hi tima,
upper back pain since one year if is progressively increasing day by day then you need to consult orthopedic surgeon or spine surgeon .
there are few conditions which may not be picked up early in x rays for that mri scan is needed.
