Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having pain under my right breast area. It started last night as a sharp stabbing pain that would come an go. It did not get worse or better when changing sleeping positions. I was unable to sleep comfortably for most of the night. I woke up with it this morning. It is no longer a stabbing pain, more like an annoying consant pain which resides directly under the middle of my right breast. I was hoping it would have gone away by now thinking it was a gas bubble or something. Thought I would research the internet before calling my PCP. I have been drinking hot tea all morning, which has not helped. Any ideas as to what may be causing this discomfort? Please advise, thank you. Michelle Jodoin
Hello, it could be something as simple as pain due to unnoticed trauma to medical conditions like zoster which classically starts with pain and rash later on, to thrombophlebitis in the area. Feel free to use acetaminophen in between for pain relief. The best way to diagnose it with be to do appropriate physical exam. I hope your PCP will be able to guide you more on that. I hope this information helps Thank you for asking question on Healthcare Magic.
