Suggest Cure For Pain In The Back And In The Rib Cage
Hello, I am feeling a dullish pain in my upper left back and underneath my left ribcage when I take a deep breath in. It feels like a gas bubble but has been consistent for the past 12 hours. I am not experiencing any other symptoms. I also noticed that after a stressful morning, it became worse. Could this be anxiety related?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having costo-chondritis giving this problem.
Take ibuprofen for few days.
Apply analgesic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
