I have had a pain under the top of my rib cage for the past week and a half, it tends to make my shoulder and arm hurt as well,does anyone have any idea what this could be?
Its High up to the right and just under the bones.

Chest wall pain is common - the pain could just be deferring to your shoulder and arm. Have your doctor check it out - really, it could be as simple as muscle strain, asthma or GERD. There could also be issues with the liver, kidney, spine or gallbladder; it doesn't sound like you have these problems, but still, a urinalysis can rule some of these things out, and it's better to have a doctor look you over just to be on the safe side. Good luck :o)

Could be Plursey... I had it a few months ago and the pain was under my rib cage and hurt to breath in and out. The pain moved to my Sholder and Back. I would go get it checked if i were you
Good Luck

A pain that worsens with breathing, but is always in the same area of the chest, can be due to either a problem in the: A.· muscles, including the ribs, the cartilage, or the nerves that go to the muscles. B. pleura, that is the lining of the inner chest wall and the lungs. If your chest is sore when touched at the area where you feel the pain, it is almost certainly muscular. If your chest is not sore when touched at the area where you feel the pain, it is probably coming from irritation of the pleura or a nerve that runs along the lower edge of the ribs, called the intercostal nerves (intercostal neuritis). A chest x-ray wiould find any of these problems.

I would have to go with chest wall pain. I have had numerous "attacks" of these sorts....and have always gone to the e.r. to have them checked out, due to my asthma. Usually it is not my asthma, but it has been. Does it hurt to take a deep breath?? Another would be reflux or maybe an ulcer. I wouldn't go as far as saying a heart condition, I would have the others ruled out first. Take care and I hope all works out well.

It sounds like it could be wind.Try a rennie or something a long the lines of that. If that doesnt get rid of it maybe go see the doc as you have had it for a week.

This could be one of a number of problems from gastric reflux to gallbladder. You should see your GP for the correct diagnosis. In the meantime try antacids and no alcohol!

I get what sounds the same, but may not be, from my neck. I have two prolapsed discs and a form of arthritis in my neck, get it checked out by the doc.
Good luck

A pain in the chest is your body telling you to dial 999! (recent government advertisement)

Sounds like a muscular strain.
Could well be trapped wind.
Get your gall bladder checked out,or your liver if you drink alcohol a lot.
Don't worry.

This needs to be checked out. It could be indigestion but it could be a heart problem even though it is on the right of your chest. Don't ignore it - seek proper medical guidance, please.
