chest pain

Sent to Health Experts September 13, 2006 7:40 a.m.

I'm having excruciating pain in my chest (right side) that has now included my back in the same area. When I take a deep breath or laugh, caugh, sneeze, deeply exhale, it kills me. When I turn in certain positions it hurts like hell. But, I can vaccuum the floor but can't pull the laundry out of the washer. I had a chest x-ray yesterday and I got a call from my doctor saying that the "wet-read" shows it could be pneumonia. When she examined me on Monday, she was able to reproduce the pain by pushing on my chest while I laid on the table. Where do I go for a second opinion and more testing. I'm 36 years old and healthy. I have 5 children and am worried.
