2-3 Year long soreness and uncomfortable feeling around the Left Shoulderblade,Pectoral, lower ribs....?

Question

I have had a 2-3 year long soreness and uncomfortable feeling around the shoulderblade, upper pectoral muscles/underarm, and lower rib. only on my left side. Rolling out of bed i feel like my left pectoral muscles are tense and my left nipple feels heavy (funny sounding but true!) Walking down my stairs, as the muscles bounce up and down, something just feels different of my left side of my body! As for my shoulder, its hard to describe the pain, because it is not sharp and unbearable, it is more an dull/sore uncomfortable feeling. most of the day it is an unfortable feeling that is more annoying then painful. however, I can make it hurt by pushing my shoulders forward or stretching them. as far as the lower ribs, it is mostly uncomfortable while im laying on my stomach. it feels different then the right side. i really would appreciate some medcial insight to this! im 25 years old a smoker since 18. (altho i have cut the smoking alot over the past 3 years) I have also gained about 30lb

Go see a physiotherapist, that's what I do when a muscle doesn't feel right, they can be very helpful. It could be inflammation and taking an anti-inflammatory will help, Inflammation can really make things uncomfortable.

i would definitely go to your dr and ask to see a physical therapist, they can figure out if it's a muscle/nerve or some other type of tissue problem, although i'm sort of biased since i'm in physical therapy school....
