my health anxiety has been really bad this month (probably tell from all the threads,lol)!! so 2day im sat on the sofa, i get up and i had a sharp pain in my back, left side, up towards my shoulder blade, it made me gasp for breath, scared me silly. after about 10 mins eased off, then everytime i took a deep breathe it pulled in my back and in exactly the same place in my chest, rational side of brain is saying you have just jarred a muscle, but the otherside is saying you are a smoker might be lung cancer. it is still there now and im getting more and more anxious about it. does anyone think this is muscle related or do u think yet another doctor visist might be in order??. thanks for reading, any helpful and encourging replies would be great. debs xx

Pulled muscles can be very painful and do take a while to get better, I am afraid you must just grin and bare it.
