I agree with Jeannie, but I'd just like to add that I also have this type of pain, and for me, a visit w/ my massage therapist (neuromuscular) helps immensely. She can usually locate a trigger point and release it. She has asked me if I have shortness of breath, because the trigger points and tight muscles/ligaments in this area around the ribcage and diaphragm can cause that, too. I can usually figure out what it is I've been doing - often times repetitive motions with my arms raised or constricted that sets up the pain reaction. Sometimes it's as simple as sitting at the computer too long and using the mouse! (I'm right handed).
Have you had a chest Xray to rule out problems associated w/ the COPD? Hope you get some help from your doctors and start feeling better!

should get your lung function test done again as u might need inhalers copd usually needs steriod treatment via inhalers .high blood pressure can also cause chest pain although most docs dont actually realise that.u might want to have your gallbladder checked also because it can also cause pain in the back and chest especially after meals.
