What Causes On And Off Middle Back Pain And Pain Under Breasts?
I have had terrible middle back pain for years off and on. It is accompanied by pain around my rods and right below my breast bone. It also hurts in those areas when I take deep breaths during these episodes. It hurts no matter what position I am in.... standing, sitting, laying down, fetal, etc.
Dear- thanks for using our service. Pain under the breast bone could be secondary to costochondritis,which is an inflammation in the rib cage that can get worse when take deep breath due to enlargement of the thoracic area when we do that. It can come sometime and get better with anti-inflammatory and analgesics. Another possibility is due to an inflammation of the pleura which is the membrane that covers the lung. The treatment is also anti-inflammatories as ibuprofen . It hope that my advise has been helpful Dr.Sara
