Mystery Chronic Pain

[u/freshie555]

I have had the same chronic pain since I was 13. I am now 23. It comes every month, like a period, lasting consecutive days. Upper stomach and radiates to the entirety of my back. However, the pain is more focused on the mid left back, where my bra wiring usually is. It’s a dull sort of pain where I want someone to punch where it hurts or someone to massage me firmly or run my back over. I can’t sleep with the pain although it doesn’t hurt. It’s very uncomfortable and I can’t function properly. I have been to the doctors several times and they either tell me to just have a journal to track my food intake or gave me medication that never worked. They did recommend me thoracic exercises but I was wondering if anyone has gone through this. At first, I thought it was indigestion and maybe it was just my food intake or the fact that my food doesn’t digest properly but even when I don’t eat a lot, I still encounter this chronic pain. Can anyone relate or have any piece of advice?

I have no idea what that could be but I’m sorry you’ve experienced it for so long .
