Pain Under Left Breast

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sydney, AU

Has anyone got pain radiating from the back ( maybe spine?), to under the left breast? It is not a heart issue. Not there all the time but when it comes on it doesn't last for long but feels like when you have a stitch or a mini cramp.

Hi Beau, the pain should go away. I get pains in the night & they usually go away.

I Have Been Getting Intermittent Pain In Right Side Of Middle Back

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sydney, AU

It mostly comes on towards the end of the day. Sometimes it's just a dull ache other times it's quite incapacitating. I have been on Actonel for nearly 8 months. Has anyone experienced anything similar? My endocrinologist doesn't think it's from the Actonel. I have had a cat scan and nothing has shown up;it's not imagined!

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Thank you. That is reasuring.
I do have irritable bowel syndrome maybe it is a contributing factor. I hadn't thought of that.
