What Is The Root Cause For Aching Ribs And Sharp Electric Shock Like Pain?
I have had a severe back problem
For past two weeks that seems to getting worse. But the issue is not contained just to back or spine. It sometimes feels like my whole rib frame is aching (and the organs underneath). Sometimes the pain becomes like a sharp electric shock. I seem to able to walk ok. I tried swimming two days ago and I had to stop because of intense pain in the mid-spine area.
I have been managing the pain with nurofen targeting inflammations.
Now I am starting to get dizzy spells and a numb tingling in the mouth.
Any thoughts...?

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
It appears to be due to the spondylosis of the thoracic vertibrae, and pressure symptoms there of.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, ofloxacin, mefenamic acid, and ranitidine.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein
rich foods to have a resistance against such pains.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
