What Does Pain On The Right Side Of The Chest Indicate?

I have a moderate pain i can relate to thinking it is in my right lung or something in that area upper right of my back. It is a constant pain i feel every time i take a breath, and is more relevant when i am lying down to sleep. It bothers me so much I am trying to find out what it is that causes this. I have seen many chiropractors a minimum of 2 a week. Sometimes as much as 5 times a week and have come to not getting relief from any. I have been on a pain management program in the past for injuries in a motorcycle accident but have not be using them in constant for about two years. This problem is something i have had issues with not pertaining to my previous injuries. I am scared that i may have something else seriously wrong and need to find clarity and comfort. Please help me.

Hello,

Your pain can be from vertebral column injury or rib injury during the operation causing nerve damage supplying the painful part/Muscular. Calcium Deficiency, muscle pull as a neurogenic sign/involvement of lung tissue or it is covering (Pleura).

You should get x-ray of chest P/A view & lateral view. This will reveal the cause, followed by other needful investigations & specific treatment. Please consult a physician or orthopedic surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
