So Now What?

So the search began for cause of my sudden pain. I first went to a general practitioner because I thought maybe I was having heart issues and the tightness I was feeling was not a muscle but my heart. Well the doctor checked my heart, my blood pressure, lungs, etc.. Everything sounded good and seemed well, but the doctor said maybe with the exercising I had inflamed my chest cavity. Which I never heard of but I'm not the doctor. So I was prescribed some anti-inflammatories, 800 milligrams of ibuprofen and rest, but nothing else. I did this for about a week before I decided to consult with a chiropractor because now suddenly my pain was traveling to my back. I didn't understand how this had happened because since my chest had started hurting I was taking it very easy on the exercise stuff when it came to my upper body. I started feeling a really sharp stabbing pain right in the middle of my back. Now my chest and my back were hurting, what was up? I started going to the chiropractor and whenever I got adjusted or whatever it felt sooo good, but the pain would come back later on. So now laughing, coughing, sneezing and deep breathing was feeling like I was being stabbed in my chest and on top of that my back felt like it constantly needed to be popped. I didn't know what to do. So after seeing the chiropractor for about 3 weeks my chiropractor suggested I see an orthopedic doctor for my pain, because nothing was getting better.
