Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

There are 2 main possibilities I can think of.
1, a compression of some kind affecting the back. This could be easily detected on an MRI. The nerve involvement arising from the back may be radiating forward causing the chest symptoms.

2, a fibromyalgia like syndrome. Unfortunately this syndrome has no real treatment. The treatment is largely symptomatic. Therefore, I would suggest ruling out the other possible conditions before accepting this diagnosis

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
