What Causes Constant Pain Under The Ribs?
Question: I have a place under my right shoulder blade that is a little to right on my ribs that is hurting and when I am down low and try to get up it hurts or I lay on that side or put pressure on it. I have tried Salonpas; heat and Aleve.
Brief Answer:
Contracture/ pinged nerve possible, chiropract./ physicalth. recommended
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
your description makes me think of a vertebra blockage/ pinged nerve ("contracture") in first place. Usually local warmth and pain medication like ibuprofen is the first treatment one should try. However, if it doesnt improve at all chiropractics and/ or physical therapy can be very helpful.
If this is going on for a longer period of time also x ray is advisable to rule out any structural problem with the vertebras/ shoulder blade in that area.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
