What Is The Cause For Painful Mucus In My Chest?
Maybe about once a month i will get this painful mucus that runs up and down my airway and into my chest, it burns really bad and no matter how hard i try to get it out of my chest it seems like it refills, do you know what might be the cause of this?

You could be either having a post nasal drip or a reflux disease. You need to consult your PCP as you need a thorough clinical examin ation and then only you can be advised the correct line of treatment.
