If all xrays and Ct scan is normal then the pain is not originating from the chest.
What it can be with such a sharp shooting pain is either a muscular pain or a neuralgia.
For muscular pain dont worry, just rest and take some hot fomentation. Also you can use a local application of voveran gel to help.
If there is an eruption of rash or pustules over the chest where you have a sharp shooting pain then it can be herpes and u need to get it trated.
