Are Back Pain, Fatigue And Soreness In Lower Rib Signs Of Cancer?

default
Posted on Mon, 20 Jun 2016
Question: I have back pain on my right side "over" ribs not underneath for a few weeks now. My lowest rib is sore sometimes and my back gets more tight throughout the day. I work out 5 days a week and massage makes it feel better, doesn't hurt when I lay down or sleep. Some days are better than others. Read a lot on internet....very scary...if it is cancer wouldn't I have any other symptoms? Good appetite, sleep, and only tiredness is from daily routines of the day.

Brief Answer:
Have you ever undergone chest x ray?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry much as your blood reports are normal.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more because it is improving by massage.
But better to get done chest x ray to rule out internal lung related pain.
So please let me know
1. Do you smoke?
2. Have you ever undergone chest x ray?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
