What Causes Pain In Chest?

i am 45. i have had a chest infection in april and turned into pneumonia. i have been left with pains in right hand side which are mainly in the chest but shift around. the pains go up and down the right hand side. i have had a gamma scan, chest xrays, blood tests, ultra sound. the gamma scan was to look for a blood clot (all ok, not one found). ultra sound (for goul stones, not found). the doctors do not know what could be causing it.

Hi and thank you for choosing HCM to post your concern.
I read carefully your question and my opinion is as follows:
I think your chest pain is not a sign of a serious lung disease since all the lung diagnostic studies and other test resulted good.
It doesnt have the characteristics of a cardiac chest pain.
It seems to me that the most possible cause of your chest pain is Costochondritis since the pain changes locations and after pneumonia muscle strain from violent cough can result in musculoskeletal inflammation and costochondritis.I would suggest painkillers such as ibuprofen if pain is intolerable.Hope my opinion is worth.
Wish you good health.
Kind regards
Dr.Dushi
