Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Chest, Shoulder And Breast

today i was having some pain on my chest, left side between the shoulder and breast area. I thought I had maybe pulled a muscle but when changing for bed I noticed dark blue veins running from my shoulder down my breast. This is something I have never seen before. I am 53 and had a hysterectomy 8 years ago so there is no chance I am pregnant nor a pms symptom as I ve read so far on the internet. Do you know what might have caused this? THank you
