    So sorry you are having this pain. It sounds very similar to how it felt years ago when my lung collapsed from time to time due to blebs. I used to say it felt like someone stabbed me in the back with an ice pick. It would be a very good idea to go to a doctor and request a chest x-ray. I really hope that it is something simple, but it's much better to be safe than sorry with something like this. I hope it all goes well for you.
