What Causes Pain Across The Back Mid Rib Area?

2 weeks ago I woke up with burning in both nipples (male) and the pain then move to left side of chest and down left arm. After 2 trips to the E.R heart issues were ruled out. Pain is now across my back mid rib area also pain in abdomen both sides. Back pain 8, adbomen pain 6. Upper G.I was done this AM along with a Mammogram right side and ultrasound on left side. Area of pain seems to change every few days. Any thoughts would be appreciated before I march back to the E.R.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all no need to worry for major heart or stomach or breast related diseases as your detailed reports are normal.
These kind of pain is commonly seen with costochondritis.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in costochondritis.
1. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
3. Take simple painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise for few days.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
