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?

Hello,

You may be suffering from back muscles spasm or other possibilities like premenstrual syndrome or hypothyroidism or Vitamin d deficiency etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Get it done serum calcium, hemoglobin status, thyroid profile and Consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
