The dear Doctor, my mum (55 years) had pains at the left under a breast (but not heart). Disturb pains at sharp movements and when does or makes an inspiration.
What is it can be? Thanks. Yours faithfully, Natalia

Dear Natalia! If there is no temperature and tussis (attributes of a possible or probable pneumonia), most likely at your mum an osteochondrosis of a thoracal department of a backbone with a radicular syndrome or an intercostal neuralgia. In both cases consultation of the neuropathologist is necessary.
