I have had pains on the left side of my upper body for on and off about 3 yrs now. They range from my breast, under my arm, down my left arm and more recently in my chest. When I first got them, (in my breast) I promptly went to my GP who sent me for a mamogram and scan and I was given the all clear (also did a full chest x ray and lungs and heart appeared to be normal). Recently went to the GP with the pains in my chest and he listen to my heart with the stethoscope and said there was nothing wrong with my heart...so who knows...I just live with the discomfort
Sue, I would ask for a second opinion because that does not sound right. I my view if there is pain something is wrong and for it to go on for 3 yrs, I would get a 2nd opinion definitely.
