What Causes Severe Pain In The Middle Of The Ribs On The Back?
Hello, I m 26 years old and have been having some back issues. I had a sudden onset last Saturday of sharp stabbing pain in my back middle ribs and pain increases with deep breaths. My Dr. ordered a back and chest x-ray and it came back fine. She concluded that I must have torn a soft tissue. So a week later today...it still hurts and now I have had a sudden onset of lower back pain on my right side that hurts with bending or pulling my right leg up. Around the same time today I m also having pain in my right shoulder. the pain extends to the rest of the arm with movement. Am I just falling apart piece by piece or is there some way this can all be related?
