Middle Chest Pain And Big Hands
Hello I am suffering from a sharp pain in the middle of my upper chest. It doesn't hurt to breath but it does hurt to move at all. Also my hands and have swollen up a little bit. And my joints all hurt. What could be the cause and what might be a solution?

Hands swelling with discomfort in the chest could be due to interference in the blood supply and drainage in the area. You should consult a General Surgeon immediately to know the cause of this problem. You might require certain imaging studies(eg.CT, MRI, etc).
