Suggest Treatment For Pain In Ribs

Hi my name is Kryste and I am 22 yrs old. Yesterday I woke up with intense pain in the right side of my ribs and wraps around to my back and it is tender to the touch and nothing is making it better. I have not been injured in any way. What could be wrong?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having pleurisy. However you can get your x ray chest done to exclude other causes. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries .
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
