What Causes Shooting Pain In The Middle Of The Back?

I get a shooting pain across the middle of the small of my back when I take anything more than a shallow breath. There is no pain or limitation to movement. It ONLY hurts when I breath. Reminds me very much of pleurisy but it seems to be well below my lungs.

unfortunately there is a very long list of possibilities. I would start with getting another X-ray or MRI of your back to evaluate.
