What Causes Pain In Lower Left Ribs, Left Shoulder And Neck?
Question: I have pain in my lower left ribs in front under my breast that wraps around to my back as well as pain in my left shoulder/neck. It worsens when I take a deep breath and if I am lying down.
Brief Answer:
Most likely rib blockage and muscular tension, local warmth and chiropract.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Patient,
your description may match with a blocked rib and some muscular tension of the neck. If tylenol and ibuprofen aren't helping, you may also aply local warmth. Also your GP can give you local injections, and a chiropractor may try to manually loosen it.
Usually this will get better within 1-2 weeks,
best regards
