For me, pain in a chakra has always indicated a blockage in that particular chakra. Indeed, I have learned that even my brightest chakra can contain painful blockages.
I would second Tanner's thoughts. Back when most of my energy centers were blocked save for my heart, an energy healer told me that my energy had no where to go from the heart - up or down. But I'd also second Tanner's thoughts because from my third-party, imperfect perspective, you are dealing much with red and orange ray balancing GW. The three lower centers are the foundation for the ones above it. It's good to have a rock solid foundation.
