Hi Maureen, it's really hard to test this X-rays only show acute pain fractures torn ligaments etc.some websites say it should relieve itself in time, others say it's in your head and then doctors start bombarding you with anti depressants with wicked side effects, nerve or trauma pain is hard to test for you have to be proactive and do your own investigation depending where your pain is I've been having nerve blocks and lidocaine infusions to ease my nerve pain in my chest wall area. I've been to emerge a few times thinking it was my heart but all the blood work and X-ray were normal. I see a naturapath were she does cold laser tens therapy needleing massage and so on I hope this gives you some insight and stay strong
