Brief Answer:
It seems to be muscular pain.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having a muscular pain.
I would advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedic surgeon.

An MRI of the thoracic region along with following blood investigations may be helpful :-
1. Complete Blood Count ( CBC ).
2. Serum Calcium.
3. Vitamin D3 levels.
4. CRP.
5. Liver Function Test ( LFT ).
6. Chest X - Ray PA view.

You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with serratipeptidase and Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals.
Muscle relaxant like Chloroxazone twice daily along with the painkiller can be taken if muscle spasm is the cause for your pain.

I would advise that you should first get yourself clinically examined and investigated before starting any treatment.

Avoid lifting heavy weights. Hot fomentation and physiotherapy may be helpful to treat the symptoms.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
