Chronic chest pain

Question

Chronic chest pain

Asked for Female, 49 Years

I am an active 49 year old, perimenopausal woman. I have had chronic chest pain for over a year. It began with a small pinpointable spot deep in my left chest. It is always detectable, but at times flares into more painful. I have had chest x-rays, a ct scan. echocardiogram, ekg, endoscopy. There does not appear to be any heart, lung, or acid-reflux problem. In the past 2 months it has spread to my shoulders, upper arms, back, neck, collardbones. It is still more left-sided. Nowhere else to go!
