Who Has Or Is Suffering From Sharp Stabbing Chest Pain Only On The Left Side?

I am 26 yrs old and have been dealing with this for over a year and 1/2. I have been to 3 cardiologists who have confirmed that is not related to my heart. 3 card. and 5 other docs i have seen stated that it could be costochonditis but should have cleared after 6 months by being on roids and anti-inflammation meds. I have had EKGs, xrays, MRIs and stress tests, blood tests, urine tests all have come back negative. I have been through physical therapy as well. I am just 40 lbs overweight is what i am told each time. I have changed my eating habits, excercise by walking more.I am currently taking lyrica, robaxin, savella still feel pain and sometimes have really bad flares up that will take everything out of me.I am at a lost and the pain is taking over my life. I am miserable

Sharp Knee Pains 2 Years After Injury…ligament Or Meniscus Pain??

PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE ANSWERING:
I’m 21 and after I badly dislocated my kneecap 2 years ago, I never even been to the hospital or gotten any MRIs, so I have no idea the extent of my damage.
The time I injured my knee, a guy helped me pop it back in and I was taken home instead of the hospital. My dad built a knee immobilizer for me and it took 2 months to walk again. After that I never had physical therapy, just regular workouts.
Now this is where I got REALLY stupid: Last summer, a year after my serious injury, I was running barefoot ON SAND 3-4 times a week for an hour each time for 2 months. I weighed 125 pounds at the time. One day I stopped running cuz the knee pain got too bad to continue. I heard that running is the first thing to avoid for a bad knee.
Eventually I’ll go see an orthopedic surgeon and get an MRI.
For now all I’m curious to know is:
WHAT’S THE WORST THAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY KNEE AS THE RESULT OF MY NEGLECT? FOR EXAMPLE, LIGAMENT OR MENISCUS DAMAGE?

I Have Sharp Lumbar Pain, Scans And Tests Show I’m “fine”. I’m Nervous Asking A Doc For Meds. What Do I Do?

The lower back pain stems from a fall I took on some ice 2 years ago. At the time I had some swelling around the vertebrae and one of said vertebrae was slightly cracked (L3 to be specific). Since then I have gone through physical therapy and some chiropractic sessions, which I think are worthless. My doctor has never prescribed me any sort of pain medication, only 800 mg of ibuprofen. The pain is still there, the intensity varies depending on the time of day and what activity I am doing. Sitting especially irritates it. I have been re-tested and re-scanned and “everything looks fine” according to my doctor. While I trust his professional opinion I am EXTREMELY frustrated at the persistence of this pain. He has voiced his dislike for prescribing pain killers, and I cannot blame him in this current medical environment. Should I consult him still or find a new doctor? I really don’t want to go “doctor shopping” seeing as I don’t really have the financial resources or time to spend on such an endeavor. What do I do? I really think these medications would help but I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place! Is it common for pain to persist this long? Especially after the doc has given an “all clear”? I’m sorry for the length of this but I just don’t know what to do. I can’t do this for much longer, I’m on my last straw. Thanks.
