I've been having this chest pain on the right side near my shoulder for a couple of months now. I saw a doctor near my place, and he checked me out, saying there's nothing to worry about, but the pain is still bothering me. He gave me some medicine called UGESIC 20mg and suggested I get an HB test. What could this pain mean, and should I be doing something more or different?
