Alan, You seem to be barking at the wrong tree now. You should in fact see a specialist now. Since the current treatment has not helped you even for long time. You are not getting right about the treatment. A pain when you breathe out is during expiration, where no muscle is actively involved is something bothersome. It is not muscular then. Meet a competent specialist who can run some tests to determine the cause of the pain. I am unable to advise you the specialist because the query is insufficient to guide.  You can meet an Orthopedic Surgeon. Your current doctor can guide you as well.
