it can be one of 3 things 1) you could have a pinched nerve some were 2) you could have one or more pulled/brused or tired museles or 3) it could be ur apendicx tryin act up and the tell tell sign of that is the sharp pains ur havein but they shoot down your leg and across stomic and double you over but i would go with one of the first two and those two will work them selves out in time

^- Dude... I have, like, the same fucking thing. Wow. I have never heard of anyone else who experienced this or knew anyone that had. 'Happens just about anywhere in teh torso, for the most part, though. Doctors have never been able to figure it out, either, though, they have never really given it much attention.

I would be interested in seeing if this matches what 3knd was talking about and if anyone else has this happen.

k then what could be causein part of it is if you sleep with your arms above your head cause it stresses the cartlage in your ribs and pulls in in twords your lungs and that can do the same thing

my dad had something very much like this. it would come and go with no warning. one day it became constant and i had to run him to the ER, it turned out to be gall stones. drinking water and staying hydrated can help, but if it gets to happening more often, for longer times, go see a doctor.

Sometimes, my back will ache and then my chest will hurt, or sometimes my lower back will ache as well and again, I'll get chest pains. Other times, I feel like I'm going to faint. I hate it. I'm truing my best to stay healthy and what not by drinkin' a shit ton of water. But It still seems to happen. Like I said. It's not extreme pain, but It's still sucks in a way.

I have gotten those for years, always just been told it's a side stitch, the muscles acting up from use. And it always it when Im lugging a pack, or doing some sort of labor, walking when Ive been lazy for too long....like, long walks or hiking if Ive been rubber tramping a lot. I never figured there was anything serious about that, it just sucks when Im in the middle of trying to get somewhere and my stitch acts up, I get slowed down, road dogs get slowed down, etc.

That happens to me all the time. Just dehydration im assuming. No big. I'm usually really good at blocking out pain but once I tried to block out what turned out to be a liver infection for weeks, ended up in the hospital for awhile so I always preach about health and not ignoring things and asking questions hah.

Yeah, that was my first assumption and I ignored it, because I figured that i could just drink water everyday. But, I stopped drinking about a week ago. Who knows, I just hope it's nothing serious.
