Sharp stabbing pain in left side of chest?

i have been to two doctors about this issue and i cant seem to get an answer so i was wondering if anyone would know anything about this:

since march ive been having this on and off sharp pain in the left side of my breast, it even woke me up one night. i had a breast exam done and asked 2 doctors and they had no clue what caused the pain but they said i was fine and what ever it was it wasnt bad.

my mom told me she has the same exact pain i described, she said HER doctor told her it was caused by a nerve?

im a little confused since shes 40 years older than me, and i am the one in the family with kyphosis so i wasnt sure if any of that has to do with my pain but... does anyone know what this could be?? its been bugging me for so long, thank you.

    maybe i should add that my kyphosis causes a lot of pain in my neck and back area, could this also cause pain in my breast...?

    Nerve pain does not care how old you are. Does your mom take anything for it? Gabapentin and pregablin are often prescribed for nerve pain.
