Right side chest pain
hello all!
I started having chest pain on my right side late yesterday afternoon. The pain started right around my collar bone, and pushed through my body to my back. On a scale from 1-10 it was probably a 4 or 5. Today it still hurts, but is more focused on my back. I don't have a gallbladder, so it can't be that. I can't decide if I just pulled something or if its something I should call the doctor about. (I REALLY dont want to call the doctor unless I absolutely have to....long story...) I have intermittent pain in the center of my stomach, but that comes and goes.
Thanks for any help you can give me!!

Chest pain = trip to ER.
