Brief Answer:
We need to exclude a pinched nerve in the back.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

We need to exclude a pinched nerve in back. The symptoms are in a nerve root distribution. The nerve that comes from back to the breast region is the thoracic nerve-T4 (also called as D4). MRI can help in identifying the root cause.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.     
Best wishes,
