I m a 25 year old female. 5 6 150 lbs. I ve been having a sharp pain in the left side of my back since I woke up this morning. It hurts whenever I breathe or move my left arm. It radiates to the left side of my chest a little bit. The pain is mostly in my back though. On a scale of 1 to 10, I d call it an 8 when inhaling and a 3 when exhaling. I haven t done anything strenuous and I work a desk job. My throat hurts a little bit and I am hot one second and then cold the next. I m not sure if I have a fever or anything. My insurance is less than great so if I m able to avoid the doctor, that would be awesome.
