I’m an otherwise healthy teenager, but I’ve had these sharp pains in my shoulder, neck, and jaw over several months, and these last few days, my chest hurts too and now I’m not even sure where it originates. Before, it came on and off; now, I feel it from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep (and every time in between!) I googled for what it could possibly be and it brings stuff up about the heart and I’m really worried, despite most of the things about the heart weren’t aimed at people my age. The doctor can’t get me in today, and I don’t know what to do. Aspirin makes the pain dull, and ice packs make it feel better than when heat is applied. I don’t think it’s my jaw/teeth – I just went to the dentist and everything was A-OK. I suppose I feel the more concentrated pain in my shoulder.

What causes this kind of pain? Has anyone else felt this before?

Thanks to those who answer :)
